This race is AMAZINGLY fun! If you are thinking about doing it but are unsure DO IT! The course is challenging very very hilly and some of the obstacles are tough to get over but if you are afraid of it you can go around it. The beginning of the course is mostly steep steep hills and then there are many obstacles grouped together. The best ones are at the end where you swim through a pool of thick mud and water and then the very last one where you slide down a huge slide into a pool of muddy water. It is AWESOME! The gear you get is great as well. You get a warrior helmet, medal, koozie, tshirt, finisher photos and a free beer (21+). Also a cool feature was when you were finished you could get your picture taken a on this huge warrior dash sign and it was uploaded right to your facebook, something I had never seen at a race. If there is one of these races in your area or even 2 hours away do it!
