Obstacle courses in athletics initially included the following events:
Obstacle Running: This event is held on a running track, and athletes need to go around fixed obstacles such as ropes, poles, etc. The origins of obstacle running can be traced back to the games of ancient Greece, when athletes had to jump over obstacles such as potholes and stones. Modern obstacle courses became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, usually on tracks or playgrounds.
Obstacle Jump: This event requires athletes to step over or jump over a series of obstacles, such as railings, pools, etc., after a run-up. The origins of the obstacle jump can be traced back to the 19th century in England, when it was called "obstacle jumping".
Obstacle Relay: This event is a team event in athletics where each team member needs to go around one or more obstacles and then hand the baton to the next team member. The origins of this project can be traced back to the 19th century in the United States, when it was known as the "obstacle relay".
It is important to note that these events are not always present in athletics, and some events may be cancelled or changed at certain times. As a result, the specific project setup and history may vary from era to era and region to region. Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
