Obstacle races like the Warrior Dash started a fun trend. But the trend has turned into total saturation and overload. Fitness event promoters need to get creative and avoid turning their races into gimmicky “me too!” affairs.
So who out there did the Warrior Dash? What did you think? Was it really “a hellish 3.4 miles” of running, obstacles and mud? Here are my thoughts on a fun, unusual race.
South Mountain is one of the nation’s best urban outdoor parks. The Desert Classic is one reason why. See what it’s like from the saddle of a mountain bike!
The course for the Fat Tire 40 at McDowell Mountain is the work of a masochistic dungeon master. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t a ton of well-run fun. See what made this a great mountain bike race.
Check out the action from the 2011 Hedgehog Hustle at Estrella Mountain Regional Park. Garish uniforms, funny hair, out-of-control beards – this race had it all!
