Warrior Dash Overview

Warrior Dash is the obstacle course race that anyone can start and everyone can finish. With over two million participants worldwide since 2009, we’ve reinvented the concept of a 5k run and created a revolution: Warrior Nation. Whether you’re an elite athlete or just beginning the challenge, you’ll conquer 12 world-class obstacles like Goliath and Great Warrior Wall, wade across wooded lakes, and venture through mud-caked backroads as you make your loop to the finish line. You’ll be rewarded with a finisher medal (that doubles as a bottle opener and magnet), a sweet t-shirt, fuzzy Warrior helmet, and ice cold beer. Head to the post-race party to relive the course with friends, dance to live music, and celebrate your decision to leave your normal weekend in the mud.

Shocktop Unfiltered

Get a running start and use your hops to hurdle yourself (and a friend) over three sets of barricades. Get your anterior down to the ground and scoot underneath an 80-foot canopy. Once you’re out, race over three more barricades. Beer is waiting for you at the finish!
