Was there a ton of running? Like 1 mile to each obstacle? How was it structured?

There were mile markers which was nice and spectators all over who usually had a map and the time so it wasn't like you were totally lost. You pretty much follow the arrows and the people in front of you and and stay in the ropes. there were multiple start times and each wave is like 400+ people. I started at 11.40am and got done around 4pm. There were 3 water stations and the first one had bananas but the other 2 ran out by the time I got there. If you are in decent shape (walk a lot, hit the gym, use the stairs as much as you can) you should be ok. I carb loaded the night before and only had protein drinks for breakfast and energy gu packets during the race. I didn't puke and I had some slight cramping in my thigh but that was it. I think the secret is to keep moving on the uphill portions and don't take a rest until you are are the top of each hill.
