The Warrior Dash - May 6th

Admit it, the name alone makes you want to participate, right?   Several employees along with family (age 14 and up) and friends are signing up for the 2012 Warrior Dash.  It's a 3.11 mile course with 12 obstacles.  There is no team sign-up, so you will have to register individually using the link at the bottom of this post.  To avoid potential high temperatures, but still allow for sleeping in or church, we are targeting the 11:00 wave.   Once you are registered, send your name and wave to eciwellness@excelconstructors.com so we can arrange a meeting place on race day.  If you are already registered, let us know so we can recruit members for your fan club. 

The Warrior Dash website has training programs based on your current fitness level (from total couch potato to pro).  Check them out here.
Spectators are welcome to join the festival and watch the course in the spectator viewing area all at no cost.  Or, if you really want the cool hat (and tons of other freebies), but can't imagine participating in the event, check out the volunteer opportunities

FAQ

Finishing Warrior Dash is more about mental toughness than being in great shape.

You're expected to complete all obstacles. If you're unable to complete an obstacle you may bypass the obstacle and receive your finisher medal, although you'll be disqualified from all awards

You may have to swim while on the course, but if you aren't able, you can go around any water obstacles or hop on another Warrior's back. There will be lifeguards on site.
