Called the Battlefrog race, it is an extreme challenge, designed for adults. This is Milla Star Bizzotto, and she's only 9-years-old, but she's probably fitter than you.
Designed by a Navy Seal, it consists of a 5-mile run with 25 obstacles and a swimming portion that is 30 miles long.
Milla completed the race, and is the only person under 18 to do so.
She completed the race with the help of her father. Organizers allowed her to participate so long as her dad stayed by her side.
To prepare for the race, she trained five days a week, three hours a day for months.
Check out the video of her training.
She has a GoFundMe page to help her cover the cost of her equipment and training. This is her statement:
