• Goliathon 2017: full participant report and original A grade ↗

  Kevin “Mudman” LaPlatney · 2017

  LaPlatney praises refreshed obstacles, the widened warped wall, an intimate festival area and the quality of the shirt and magnetic medal. He reports enjoying the returning gym-team experience and publishes an overall A grade.

  Original overall A grade for the 3 June 2017 Goliathon at Mullica Hill. Complete first-person narrative and its one linked full-resolution image read. The author describes four miles and a dozen obstacles in an untimed, obstacle-completion event, not a conventional timed footrace. His Obstacle Athletics gym team perspective and reported second-place team result are not independent results verification. The post links his gym; the blog carries discount codes and advertising offers, with compensation/gifted entry unverified. This historical course/festival assessment is not proof of the 2027 layout. The letter is preserved without a numerical conversion; course/festival/swag subgrades are not averaged into a new score.

• Goliathon V 2016: another author’s participant review and A grade ↗

  Alexander Sallahian, Obstacle Racing Media · 2016

  Sallahian praises the tiered obstacles, staff and festival and publishes an A grade. His team walked/jogged the four-mile, twelve-obstacle course in close to four hours; he disliked having only one scoring attempt at an obstacle.

  Complete original written narrative and conclusion read, including the personal-review section after the organizer interview. Published 21 May 2016 about Goliathon V; exact raced day is not stated. The author discusses failed obstacle attempts and choosing G2/G3 levels, so this is not an all-obstacles-completed claim. His untimed team experience is historical, not the 2027 scoring policy or cutoff. The article supplies a promotional code and the publisher is commercial; gifted entry/compensation is unverified. Its native A is preserved in this account without numerical conversion or averaging with LaPlatney’s separate 2017 grade; the main displayed grade keeps its original source/year.
