Abstract

The present study examined the psychological benefits of running extreme obstacle courses (EOCs). The results indicated that participating in an EOC was related to increased psychological well-being (PWB) and physical self-efficacy (PSE). Furthermore, gender moderated the relationship between post-race PSE and PWB change scores. Implications of these findings are discussed.
