St. Louis, MO, February 22, 2017 --(PR.com)-- The Battlegrounds, St. Louis’ largest permanent mud run obstacle course, will host pre-race training days on Saturdays, March 18, April 15 and May 6 from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Runners will preview and experience the course, which is located at 11008 Schreckengast Rd. in Wright City, Mo. next to Cedar Lake Cellars winery and event venue. A fourth training day will be held at KōR Integrated Fitness, St. Louis’ first ninja warrior training course, on Sat., April 1 from 8 to 9:30 a.m. at 546 First Capitol Dr. in St. Charles, Mo.

Assault Fitness owner Jason Rulo, who is a member of The Battlegrounds’ elite Battle Corps’ team, will lead the boot camp training. Challenges include everything from cargo net climbing and tire dragging to creek crossing and running.

The Battlegrounds next race is Sat., May 20.
