You’d start at a clearing where you can see a long stretch of packed dirt, then drag the line into a thicket of roots that only a few wide enough for a quick sprint. Drop a few sturdy fallen logs across the path—use the ones that lie flat but are large enough to give a decent hop. After that, put a shallow ravine that you have to leap over, but make sure the banks are firm. Keep the lane narrow so there’s no room to veer off course. The danger comes from the shifting footing, loose stones, and sudden drop-offs, but that’s where your instincts for balance and quick reflexes kick in. Lay the obstacles in a way that forces you to listen to the ground and stay aware of every crack or creak in the wood. That keeps the race high on adrenaline but still grounded in survival skills.
