obstacle courses
Timed physical challenges
An obstacle course is a path or route with physical challenges—walls to climb, tunnels to crawl through, ropes to swing across—designed for athletic training or competition.
Military training uses them to build strength and agility.
Recreational versions appear in fitness events like Tough Mudder.
Figuratively, any process with many hurdles: Getting a permit in this city is an obstacle course.
