Warrior Dash is coming to the UK next year!

If you like your running with added barbed wire, fire and cargo nets, this is the race you've been awaiting for! I've been desperate to do it after reading about the fun US-based MFP'ers had doing it, and it's finally crossed the pond.
You can enter in waves from 9am until 3pm. Wouldn't it be great if everyone from MFP who is entering could enter the same wave so we could support and encourage (and point and laugh at) each other?
As I live a fair distance away, I'd like to plump for a late morning start - say 11am. Who's with me? Get that entry off before Christmas to give yourself something to train for!
There's also one in Yorkshire for our northern chums!

Hi
We should set up a training/motivation group
Have just told my better half about it she has volunteered to be the official photographer - lol and I was hoping she would do the dash with me......

Yorkshire would be the closer one for you

I am seriously tempted. As a non-runner this might be crazy but I think what the heck-I have 7 months to get into shape and train for it. So many people swear by signing up to an event as a way of getting motivated.
I have emailed my brother to see if he fancies the challenge-if he says yes then I am defo going to do it-I'd love to do it with someone and I couldn't think of anyone better than my bro-he has run a marathon and done some serious cycling events before so he is fit....unlike me who just does Jazzercise anywhere between once and three times a week.
BRING IT ON! x0 -
Definitely doing it Berry, got a couple of fellow C25K'ers at work we were going to do the final one of the day though in case we are embarrassingly crap - I don't fancy the prospect of 18 year olds from the next wave after me climbing over my head - or do you think that wouldn't happen??0

I'm roping in family from MK and London, but that's not to say I won't to the Yorshire one too...I'm planning on doing the London dash. 11am sounds like a great idea!

HARD CORE!!!!!! :laugh:0 -
I've done other adventure races mid-pack and there's not usually a clash. I don't like doing races last thing (or being so slow everyone else is home before me!) as there's a chance you miss out on post-race fun, and in some cases goody bags!Definitely doing it Berry, got a couple of fellow C25K'ers at work we were going to do the final one of the day though in case we are embarrassingly crap - I don't fancy the prospect of 18 year olds from the next wave after me climbing over my head - or do you think that wouldn't happen??0 -
I booked my place for the London WD. I have convinced my brother to do it with me too. I was telling my receptionist at work about it too and she loves the idea-so maybe she'll join in too!0
-
OK, payday has been and gone, so I've booked for the 11am wave. I rather optimistically ordered the size M t-shirt (which the site says is US 8-10, or UK 12-14), so that's a whole other goal!
Who else is in?! Raaaarrrrgggh!0 -
With Gok undeclared and you + Vanessa running at different times I had to flip for it, so I'm running at 11:30
Bring on the beer and drumsticks, (and a stretcher for me)0 -
Yay!! Booked and at 11.30. Simply because trying to pretend to listen to a conference call at the same time, I misremembered your time Berry and also thought that would agree with my stomach :-) Can't wait. I'll be the one stuck to the barbed wire by my hair (don't hog the stretcher Atticus!)0
-
I've signed up too, but for the 14.30 wave - suits my bro-in-law and his family better if we're there later. It'll be more fun then as it'll be extra muddy...

So excited to be messy racing with so many MFP peeps next year! Squeeeee!0

We'll be registering in January - finances just won't allow us to do it beforehand. Would like to do 11am, as I prefer early runs (and we have to get there, which could take 1.5 hours), so hopefully there'll still be slots for then by the time we book. :bigsmile:0

Well I have done it - it's official my friend Andrew and myself are booked for the 9:30am start......that way I might finnish before it gets dark - lol0

BUMP - Is there room for more and is anyone driving from London? I haven't signed up, but I've always wanted to do one of these races!
I'm an American but have been living in London for the past year and a half. TFL says it will take over 2 hours for me to get to the race grounds from North London, and I was curious if anyone else is heading to the race from the city? Even having someone to travel with would be ideal so that I didn't have to spend 2 hours on trains psyching myself out. 0 -
I'm in - I'll book my place this week for the 11am start. We should all do it together, that would be amazing.0
-
Hey.
I'm travelling from Islington, travelling down together would be good. I also don't want to do that on my own, especially being new to London.0 -

See above :-)0 -
So did everyone else get the email today? The event's been cancelled. No reason given, refunds in 10 - 14 days :sad:
Anyone know of any similar awesome events in the south-east this summer we could form an MFP team for?0 -
yes, I got the email too. It's a bit off that they didn't give a reason for the cancellation. At a guess, they didn't have enough takers to make it profitable. :sad:0
-
I've taken it as a personal affront, and already planning an anti-Redfrog campaign on FB. If they'd provided a credible reason it might have been acceptable, but the news leaked out in dribs and drabs and without any kind of customer service from the organisers.0
-
Only two weeks notice too, which is pretty inexcusable.0
-
check out the sparten races website they have several listed in the UK, Canada and US0

I have been royally mucked-about over this event because I signed up for it via Groupon. I bought the coupons on 5th June and been trying to redeem them ever since and all Groupon could say was "contact Warrior Dash" even though they don't have a working UK phone number! At my wit's end this morning I rang Priory Events whose site was being used to stage the Warrier Dash. The lady I spoke to said that Red Frog pulled the plug due to lack of numbers. Ah well, on to the next crazy event!0
