SUMMARY:

This will be my fifth Warrior Dash. (See the Trip Reports from TWO 2016 Warrior Dashes).

Warrior Dash is a 5k obstacle course race with 12+ obstacles. Run, walk, wade across lakes and venture through mud-caked backroads as you play in a giant jungle gym.

Wondering whether you can do this?  ANYONE can do this.  With a team of Gay Outdoor buddies - we can support you - and each other - in doing this.

Driving directions to the location and spot to meet at:

WHAT TO BRING:

  • Make sure you bring a photo ID
  • You can walk back to your car and leave it there so you don't have to carry it on the course.

I suggest you:

Bring a complete change of clothes and a towel or two.  Snacks in the car is also a good idea but you can also buy stuff at the end of the race.

I will proably bring a polypro top to wear if I get cold and suggest you do the same.

Completely optional but I share this b/c I would hate for you to say, "Why didn't you tell me that?!"  I bring a couple 5 gallon buckets that I fill with scaulding water at the hotel.  By the end of the race they are still kind of warm.  Which is better than cold IMHO.

I will have an outdoor camera and plan to take a lot of pics.

MEETING UP:

Let's meet in the parking lot of the 

Post Office
366 Thompson Hill Rd, Thompson, CT 06277

That is easy to find on Google Maps.

We will meet at 10 am.  We can either go in one car from there or each drive seperately.  Parking is paid for as part of your registration.  The last race I did they didn't even check times on our bibs - they did make sure we were wearing a bib and not crashing the race - but we started an hour earlier than our scheduled wave time.

Two of us will be spending the night near the race start - probably Comfort Inn & Suites, 16 Tracy Rd, Dayville, 06241, CT, US

You are welcome to join us.
