Unfortunately pets are not allowed at the venue. However, if you have the proper documentation, Service Animals can be admitted.

Can I skip an obstacle? Is there a penalty?
NO! Spartans don't skip obstacles, they overcome them!
It is highly discouraged to skip the obstacles without attempting them. It is not fair on others who do attempt them. Also, aren't the obstacles the point of doing an obstacle course race?

There are water and aid stations available

Bag drop?
