Reports and event feedback

  • AdventurePaths — a cold, hilly Grand Geneva outing ↗

    Unnamed AdventurePaths participant · 2013

    Finds the hilly ski-resort course well executed and enjoyable despite cold water and wintry weather. Notes water-station spacing, heated changing tents and crossings shared with spectators and people walking to the start.

    Historical 13 April 2013 Grand Geneva outing: the writer reports a nine o’clock elite heat, 6.7 miles and thirty obstacles. This is a different edition from the September 2013 programme and a different property from Boone, Iowa. Exact measurement, official result and entry funding are unverified. The source’s 3/5 concerns obstacle difficulty, not overall quality; its mud figure has no stated scale and its time is not a rating.

  • Time Out — mud, mutual encouragement and a worrying water crossing ↗

    Unnamed Time Out reporter and participant · 2012

    Enjoys the camaraderie, trading encouragement and helping other entrants through a cold, muddy course. Describes a short ladder queue and feeling worried about a water crossing near the end.

    Published 12 June 2012, this describes the writer’s own 31 March Lake Geneva Gladiator Assault outing. The narrator is unnamed; the photograph credit does not identify the writer. Exact class, distance and entry funding are unstated. This is a different edition from the April and September 2013 sources. The article includes interviews about other races, which are not part of this Lake Geneva summary. No overall score is stated.

  • The original Walworth County Visitors Bureau newsletter lists the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa programme for Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 September. Its 2013 guide and surrounding 2013 event context identify the year. Listed event windows are not verified personal start times. This announcement alone does not establish actual September occurrence, individual classes or an unchanged route.
  • The hotel’s September 2012 announcement separately identifies this named obstacle event at the Grand Geneva resort. Its title and short description support the historical property identity; the full programme is unverified.
  • The complete AdventurePaths report identifies an actual 13 April 2013 Grand Geneva outing, an elite heat and a reported 6.7-mile course. The complete Time Out article separately describes a 31 March 2012 Lake Geneva outing. Neither report is relabeled as the September 2013 edition, and earlier hills, obstacles and facilities do not establish current conditions.
  • This Wisconsin resort family is separate from the Boone, Iowa Gladiator Assault Challenge and unrelated inflatable events. No present Grand Geneva edition is confirmed.
  • The participant’s obstacle-difficulty score of 3/5 is not an overall quality rating. Its mud figure has no stated maximum; times, obstacle counts and results are not satisfaction scores. The checked sources provide no numerical overall for this family.
