Warrior Dash Adds Multiple Distances Beginning in 2019

CHICAGO, Sept. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Warrior Dash, the obstacle course race that more than 3 million people have completed since 2009, today announced additional race distance options beginning in 2019.

Participants looking for mud without the miles, can hit an obstacle-loaded 1 mile course, and for those wanting to kick it up a notch, a 10k option will be available. The signature 5k course featuring 12 unique obstacles will continue to be a staple at each Warrior Dash location.  

"Warrior Dash will celebrate its 10 year anniversary in 2019, and for many of the 3 million participants over the years, Warrior Dash was their first glimpse into the obstacle racing industry," said Ryan Kunkel, co-CEO of Red Frog Events, the producers of Warrior Dash. "Starting in 2019, whether you're a first time participant looking to complete your first organized race, or you're an avid fitness enthusiast looking for a mud-filled challenge, Warrior Dash has distances for all Warriors looking to do something different during their weekends."
