North Plains, Ore. (Sept. 11 and 12, 2010) – It’s more than a race, it’s Warrior Dash. On September 11 and 12, fearless runners will be heading to Horning’s Hideout to take on 10 intense obstacles over 3.15 miles of extreme terrain.
Warrior Dash will have participants jumping through fire, crawling through mud pits, climbing over vehicles and working their way through seven additional grueling obstacles. After conquering the course, racers will be greeted with live music, a beer garden featuring beer from Pyramid Breweries, and crowned with a furry warrior helmet.
Race director Alex Yount says, “Warrior Dash is an event that runners will never forget, it is not only the most extreme race in the U.S., it is also the most fun!”
The first wave of the race will begin at 11 a.m., followed by waves of 350 racers taking off to battle the course every half hour until the last group at 3:30 p.m. A loud burst of flames will signify the start of each wave, followed by a fireworks show and the awards ceremony.
Participants are encouraged to suit up in their best warrior attire and will be crowned with fuzzy warrior helmets prior to racing. Turkey legs and other warrior grub will be available for purchase along with activities such as tug-o-war and axe throwing lessons. Spectators are welcome to enjoy the live music playing throughout the day, watch the warriors tackle the obstacles near the finish line and participate in the other activities on site.
