    No.

    I personally hate all races.

    I either run for fun or not at all.

    Racist. What did regular races ever do to you?

    I'm all for obstacle courses, but those spartan warrior theme runs are kind of ridiculous. It doesn't prove your manhood or say anything about how you'd do in battle. And posting about it constantly on facebook does not make you look like a badass. If you actually join the military and survive boot camp, then I'll be impressed and proud of you. Or if you're missing a couple legs and still finish the race.

    I find those color runs really cheesy too. I've seen too many poor friends pay through the nose to get colored dust thrown at them. I'll go to a free holi party, thank you very much.

    maybe that's wrong, but i doubt it.

    It is neither right nor wrong considering other people's morality is pointless as it is not yours.

    I don't like watching races on TV especially NASCAR... The ping pong of races.

    I hate all races. I prefer team sports where you have to get a small object into the opponent's net and where there's plenty of opportunities to knock people over in the process, like ice hockey. It's much more interesting.

    They may be cheesy but they are for fun and charities, and as one that has been in the military, deployed and so on I appreciate your sentiment but I do these cheesy runs for fun and to give to those charities that really need it. I don't think most people do these runs to impress or show that they are a badass (atleast I hope not that would be sad) they do it for fun. :)

    slick, there are a few things you take your time with. not everything is a race to finish first.

    haters gonna hate! :)

    I've just had my first taste of a mud run with the Warrior Dash 5k, and even though it was only 50 degrees F I enjoyed it! Now I'm hooked!

    I did a MountainBike race on the weekend. The winner got a tattoo (right on the finish line) and everyone else got officially placed 2nd equal. Oh, we drank a beer each lap too.... I hate these events! :laugh:

    I hate most races in general, why should I have to pay to do something I could do for free and with a lot less hassle? I can understand when it's for charity, but a lot of the ones I have wanted to do are not. At least when I run on my own I always come in first!
