What happens here

Once the course is set up and the mower is prepared, it's time for the challenge run. Each participant should take turns driving the zero-turn mower through the hay bale course. The objective is to navigate the course as quickly as possible without hitting any of the hay bale obstacles. Use a timer to record each participant's run. It's recommended to have someone observe the run to note any penalties for hitting obstacles. As seen with 'ThatFixItGuy', even if a participant has no prior experience with a zero-turn mower, encourage them to try the challenge.

Goal: To complete the obstacle course in the fastest possible time.
