Obstacle Feature: Devil’s Beard – Crawl or Cruel?

Devil's Beard Hero

Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of Devil’s Beard. It may not be 25ft tall or include lots of metal to look menacing but it’s every bit as tough.

Let’s breakdown this obstacle for the best tips and the do’s and don’ts.

Pro Tip: Stay Low

This may sound obvious with the idea of crawling through a cargo net, however, you’d be surprised how many Mudders try to stand up. Please don’t.

Follow T-Pain’s advice and stay low. You won’t need any boots with the fur though.

Mudders Help Mudders

Devil’s Beard is an obstacle where it pays to help out or be helped. Having someone temporarily hold the net for you or offer a hand will speed up your progress.

As always with any obstacle on the course, we encourage teamwork and a ‘Mudders help Mudders’ mentality.

It’s Not Always Good To Be Fast

Take that with any context you want…but for Devil’s Beard, you don’t want to rush through it. Go at a steady pace to ensure you don’t catch yourself on the cargo net and avoid any tripping.

Test Yourself

Don’t just read this and do nothing. Put this information into practice and test yourself against Devil’s Beard for a remaining 2023 event or start planning your 2024 now.

For the latest event updates, make sure you’re following our Instagram page.

We’ll see you at the start line and maybe at the finish line.
