Beast Mode is a state of mind, an inner super strength that allows you to move faster, jump higher, lift more and extend yourself past what you thought was humanly possible. It is a Superhuman state in which the raw animal.. beastlike instincts take over the mind and body. There is only one BEAST MODE and it isn’t in the way you play the game, hit the ball, or score a touchdown. It’s who you are, it’s how you’re built, it’s part of your genetic makeup, it’s a lifestyle. These are the type of people who make every event a workout- from home reno using a 10 yard dumpster rental to making sure you're getting squats in picking up your kids toys. Marshawn Lynch leaves almost everything on the field, but what he doesn’t; he gives back to his community through his foundation: The Fam 1st Family Foundation.

The Subway Beast Mode Challenge is a 3.5 mile obstacle laden course to challenge your inner strength and mental toughness. The terrain at Meadowbrook Farm boasts 12 obstacles of hills, slides, walls, water, mud pits and more for you to overcome. Beast Mode isn’t just Marshawn Lynch breaking tackles, stiff-arming defenders as he heads towards the end zone… Whether you are an Office Worker, Soccer Mom or Regular Joe, everyone has an INNER Beast Mode. FINALLY here is your opportunity to come out and tear up an obstacle course meant to stop you from reaching the End Zone (Finish Line).
