    I wish there was one locally - they look like a riot! (and I don't think I'm ready for a Spartan Race yet.....)

    You don't need training at all. I did one in MD last year. I hadn't train a single day before then. I did it because my boyfriend at the time had signed up for it well before us, so I joined him.

    And I had seriously drank almost a whole bottle of Jager the night before. YOU WILL DO GREAT!

    Warrior Dash is easy! BUT SUPPPPPPPPPPPER FUN! I'd do it again this year.


    errrr have you seen yourself. Thats because your fit!! LOL

    I was thinking about doing the UK one in Yorkshire this year. It looks pretty awesome and it would give me something cool to train for! Anyone in the UK thinking about it too?

    I'm doing the warrior dash in Michigan in July with a few friends. July in Michigan is super humid, so I'm not looking forward to running in sticky weather. I can't lie; I'm SUPER intimidated. The only race I've done so far was a Turkey Trot for Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to it though :-) After reading the posts here, I plan on wearing knee socks and shorts :-)

    Any other tips?

    I haven't done the Warrior Dash yet, but I've done several others including the Original Mud Run, and the Metro Dash. My goal is to do the Spartan Beast course.

    I'm not sure how muddy the Warrior Dash gets, but if you run in regular tennis shoes, I'd duct tape them on so they don't get pulled off by the mud. I always wear military style boots because they're easy to run in, typically drain water well (so they don't weigh 10 pounds by the end of the run), and stay on my feet.

    These obstacle races are my new obsession! Feel free to add me if you have any questions about how to prepare.

    Good luck!

    I just did a spartan sprint 2 weekends ago, I'm Dashing on May 19th (DH and I are doing it for our 5th wedding anniversary on our wedding anniversary), and I just signed up for the Tough Mudder in MD on Sept 8. Woot!

    I'm going to do the one in Louisiana in October!

    I did one similar this past weekend, it was my first. That was the most challenging and rewarding thing I have ever done physically. I can't wait to do it again!
