To train, I would recommend running every other day. Start at 3 miles and work up to 12 miles. (don't run the last week before the race). On the days in between running, do weight lifting with high reps, LOTS of chin ups, and explosive jumping exercises.
Super fun overall, and buy some really cheap shoes that you can throw away or donate at the end.
P. S. You will be bruised, scratched, gouged, stiff and sore for days afterwards, and on the electrical obstacles, don't go slow, just push through as fast as you can.
ENJOY!

Well the one here is in September, so will definitely follow your advice about the running and weights.
Thanks for that, looking forward to it. When you say electrical, i'm wrong in thinking you get a shock ?
Oh and for the top 20 overall - big congratulations on that, blown away by that, you must be pretty damn fit.
