Warrior Dash is the ultimate event for thrill-seeking athletes and party-goers. On Saturday, Aug. 27 and Sunday, Aug. 28, fearless runners will head to 4431 Neck Road, Huntersville, to take on 11 intense obstacles over 3.08 miles of extreme terrain and celebrate with friends and family during an all day festival with live music, food and beer.
Warrior Dash will have participants jumping through fire, crawling through mud pits, climbing over vehicles and working their way through nine additional grueling obstacles. The first wave of the race will begin at 10am, followed by waves of 500 racers taking off to battle the course every half hour until the last group at 4:30pm.
Race Director Alex Yount says, “Warrior Dash is an event that runners and spectators will never forget. After conquering an insane physical challenge, racers celebrate with live music, beer and food, alongside their fellow Warriors, friends and family.”
Warrior Dash is nationally partnered with GreenSneakers, an organization with a uniquely effective and environmentally friendly fundraising opportunity that delivers local and global impact. With GreenSneakers and the help of Warriors, donated tennis shoes are given a second chance at life, keeping them out of local landfills all while providing a great way for an organization to implement an environmentally friendly fund raiser. This year with the help of Real Warriors with Real Heart, GreenSneakers expects up to 300,000 pounds of donations, equaling 176,000 pairs.
Participants are encouraged to suit up in their best Warrior attire and are crowned with fuzzy Warrior helmets prior to racing. Turkey legs and other Warrior grub will be available for purchase. 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.
