Keep ALL discussion in each city's thread. April 19 & 20 – Baltimore Matt Iseman TweetNow that it's upon us I decided to put threads for these. For those who remember from last year, these are the threads that include discussion on obstacles, competitors as we find them and any results. Please keep all discussion of each city in these threads ONLY and not spread out over the ANW5 board. That includes "David Campbell's run", etc. Remember that not everyone likes spoilers so keep that in mind that many will wait until the official NBC/Esquire airings later in the summer.

I've asked to run in Baltimore. The Denver dates (they are putting people from Texas in Denver) comes at a very bad time for my family. I am originally from Maryland...was born there and grew up there through high school...so am claiming it as my hometown. Casting said "they'd try" and would "put me in the Baltimore folder". So, we'll see!

Dang, so I won't be getting a chance to meet Matt, and another guy I know that lives there is vacationing out of state that week. Bleh.

I heard that they aren't going to call for Baltimore until early next week after Venice is done. I think all the Baltimore folks can rest easy this week without expecting any calls.

I got a call today from a woman who works for the American Ninja Warrior casting department! I was so excited and thrilled until she told me that she was calling because my application has my birth year listed as 2012, thus making me 0 years old. I gave her the correct birth date and she said that was all she needed... Psyched out for nothing!
PS: She wasn't very clear on when we'd get callbacks, but I was a little concerned that she initially thought I might be assigned to Miami tryouts (if selected). I live in Virginia, but only about 3 minutes south of DC and less than an hour from Baltimore.

Aww man i got excited seeing that this topic had a new post. Did you ask her if you could run in Baltimore? I did ask her about Baltimore and she said that she thought I'd probably be able to, but I got the impression she might not be a decision maker in the process and was more than likely just putting together the applications for someone else. The concern I have is that if they're not calling people until a week or two before the tryouts and I'm assigned to Miami, they might not call until after Baltimore has already passed by. But I will plan to try to walk-on in Baltimore either way, so we'll see what happens! PS: Has anyone tried to be a walk-on at more than one regional location? Like could you theoretically try out in all 4 cities if you had the time/money to travel around? |

At first I was confused since I didn't know that place by name, then I looked it up and realized Oh, it's that place. TBH I don't think I've actually been there but I've seen it from the other side of the inner harbor before plenty of times. I feel that's a good location for it really, I mean if that field is visible enough from by the aquarium, it should be big enough to hold ANW |

Even with the night runs, I think it would still generate plenty of attention, a big obstacle course like that can't go unnoticed. Especially one that should be visible from the majority of the Inner Harbor. Also I can't speak for the Inter Harbor but there's still plenty of people out in Baltimore at night from what I've seen.
Also, I think I'm going to be watching the afternoon news besides just the 11pm next week on for anything about it.
To anyone in the area my advice is watching channel 11, since that's the Baltimore NBC station so they have most to gain from reporting on it.
EDIT: Yeah I dunno if we can figure it out by averages... the temps have been kinda inconsistent around here recently lol

It's nit that I'm meh. I'd kinda want to go but I don't have a license and it doesn't seem practical to spend the money to go as a spectator.
I hope they keep the location for anw6 though. Since you know I can run lol
Also it'd be torment being at the course and not being able to run it lol
