NASSAU, Bahamas – “You will get
dirty!”was the promise made to everyone willing to challenge themselves,
and Run Dirty and BahamaHealth surely delivered!
Participants
gathered at Fort Charlotte at 6am on Saturday, October 24, 2015 for
BahamaHealth’s first “Run Dirty” event -- a 5k endurance course of obstacles
through sand, sea and mud designed to promote wellness, fitness and teamwork.
"Run Dirty 2015 was a resounding success,”
said Alana Major, BahamaHealth’s Senior Manager of Group sales and Run Dirty
organizer. “The event will certainly go down in history as an innovative
approach to wellness, fitness and teamwork. Our goal was to encourage all
participants to challenge themselves to new levels of wellness and fitness.”
The
walk/run route included the main streets of Nassau, with the dirty segment
taking place at Junkanoo Beach and Fort Charlotte. Obstacles included a muddy
leopard crawl, scaling a slanted wall, crawling through a tunnel, “Carry Me” (stretcher
edition), an RBDF drill station and more.
