Then when they say go you get out and run in and out of cones without knocking them over for 50 to 60 yards. Then turn around and do the same back to the car.<br />Then turn back and run to the last cone and turn right roughly 20 yards and bend another right and scale a 4' chain link fence. Then run another 20 yards and jump over a 3' rubber mat. "They say it's supposed to be a ditch", then bust a left for 10 yards and you go up 3 stairs threw a window then down 3 steps. Then sprint 25 or so yards to drag a 165 pound dummy 8 or so yards to a cone and back.<br />Then sprint 30 yards to the finish line. Then your time stops, but then u have to do a handcuff simulator for another 30 secs. U have 3 attempts to to do it or u fail. I believe u get 3:45 seconds to do the course but obviously the quicker the better. The fastest i did it in was 2:31. Good luck you will be winded as fuck.
