From seriously clad runners in spandex to costumed Warriors, it was a fun event no matter your level of skill. The people were all very nice and the spirit of hanging out & enjoying late Summer was in the air.
THE EVENT SEQUENCE:
Parking was pretty much ok other than no one assisted in forming the parking places- hopefully some people didn't get stuck! The place was pretty packed but the long walk to the "Warrior Dash" area was worth it. From young to old, the atmosphere of light competition and fun were present. There was a bag drop for all of your valuables. SO YOU WERE LIGHT & FANCY-FREE to run this cool event.
You could mill around b4 or after the race- there was a DJ, Food, activities like "tug-of-war" and vendors for outdoorsy equipment. You could take your picture with your friend in front of 'Warrior Dash' stands and such. A few costumed figures including I think the Official Warrior Dash Cos-play representative were amongst the crowd!
You get in line right before your assigned time to run and are released under a huge banner with fire coming from the top! (See Video above). Then alone or running among your friends and other dashers, the race was on! It was more fun then competition; several people were walking at certain points including this blog's representative! From climbing walls to walking planks over water pits, fun & skill merged! One long stretch after small river crossing was marred by a muddy climb were one had to grab onto small trees and fallen ones to move (at least this blogger did!)
THE 5K!:
The race was moderate-to-hard for the blog. We had to stop several times after running. Also after a few obstacles. Swimming in a small swamp/lake to a platform was the coolest part of the race. The platform had a roped area within a square- one had to get through the area to the other side of the platform (it was submerged)!

Another cool part was at the end...the fire pit...you had to jump over it! A huge slide where you had to climb up the back of it to slide down ended the race! Most went right to the shower area to get all of the mud off after. Groups from 1 to 20 or so ran this 5K-like a cool fitness business called "The Garage" from Garden City, Michigan! A nice group of people. Check out their Gym in Garden City, Michigan!
