The Machete Madness Experience:
This is a unique experience as it is more of a mental challenge, but you get to interact more with other runners since you are doing laps and running with each other, definitely a more interactive experience as you get to encourage and push each other to the finish line, your family and friends also gets to see you more often and you can pack lighter as you will have the chance to reload your nutrition and hydration at each lap you complete by setting up your own Aid Station/Campground and even if you are not camping you will use the campground as your transition are to refuel, we will also have Aid station on mile 5.
