Join the Warrior Dash Obstacle Course Race
Join the Warrior Dash Obstacle Course Race #WarriorDashNation #WarriorWeek
I really love a good 5K. I have been doing them with my family for years and we enjoy doing them together. They are a great way to get outside in the fresh air and get some exercise plus I love bonding with my kids over fitness related things. This year, I am excited to announce that we are doing the Warrior Dash as a family. We hope that you love this Join the Warrior Dash Obstacle Course Race #WarriorDashNation #WarriorWeek post.
Keeping our New Year's resolution to do at least one 5K per month as a family is very important. We love doing healthy things as a family and our chances for success are much better when we do it together. The Warrior Dash looks like so much fun. All three kids and my husband are beyond excited to do the Atlanta Warrior Dash in April.
What is the Warrior Dash?
Warrior Dash is the OG Obstacle Course Race that gets better every year. This 5K race & all-day festival celebrating its 10th year has been enjoyed by over 3 million participants. This get dirty festival can be started and finished by anyone 10 or older. The Warrior Dash is definitely a fun and healthy way to get fit. You'll get to join Warrior Nation.
Run your way, Warrior Nation. Warrior Nation is the diverse crew of athletes and couch potatoes, families and weekend warriors, run-for-a-cause and veteran racers all united by the Warrior Creed and the love of a good time.
What's new with the 2019 Warrior Dash?
The Warrior Dash has revamped some favorite features for 2019. There are three distances participants can choose from at select locations. You'll find all-new, incentive obstacles that they have designed for maximum fun. Warrior Dash participants can choose the classic 5K, push themselves a little more with the challenging 10K or they can try the obstacle-packed 1-mile.
How many obstacles are in the Warrior Dash?
There are 17 obstacles in the Warrior Dash. Each unique Warrior Dash course features new obstacles plus fun variations on signature obstacles like:
- Up Slide Down
- Alcatraz
- Get a Grip
- and Kiss My Grass.
2019 Warrior Dash features the first ever zip-line obstacle (I am excited about this one), Super Fly and the 3-story El Capitan.
After the Dash: All-Day Festival
Party after the Warrior Dash at this FREE (for everyone) all-day festival featuring a live DJ, local beers and restaurants plus more. I love that they make it into a day long event. We can't wait to participate in the family fun. Join the fun during the festival by:
- stein hoisting
- participating in a plank or tug-of-war contests,
- visiting the Instagram photo booth
- meeting great sponsors
- and the best people watching around.
Everyone gets in free to cheer you on, even non-racers and spectators.
How old do you have to be to do the Warrior Dash?
Anyone 10 and older can participate in the Warrior Dash. For those under 10, they can join the fun at the fair-life Kids Fun Zone featuring mini obstacles and tons of mud.

This looks like so much fun but definitely something that will push you. I want to try it one day
The Warrior Dash looks like a lot of fun! I’m not sure if I have the strength or stamina to complete it right now, but this definitely gives me a goal to work toward.
This always looks so fun and I think it would make for some great memories. Doing it with friends would be even better.
I have utmost respect for anyone who completes one of these races! What a goal to complete!
I am trying to get fit so that someday I can do these races with my kids. They really do look really fun!
That looks like a blast! That is definitely something I would love to do. I’ve done obstacle courses before too, so this one sounds fun.
This looks like so much fun!! I would love to do this one day!
My husband did the warrior dash years ago. He had a lot of fun but race day was crazy. We would have planned it out better if we had known what we were getting into.
This looks like an amazing unforgettable experience! But, there is no way in heck I would do it, lol. I would somehow severely injure myself. I am such a klutz.
Oh my gosh, this looks like so much fun. I would definitely have to work up to that.
This looks like a lot of fun. We have something similar here that the kids have been begging to do.
I am not a runner at all but this looks like a lot of fun! I would totally try this once.
This looks so fun! I’d be worried that I wouldn’t have the stamina for it, but I’m sure lots of people feel that way….right??? 🙂
I’ve always wanted to join the warrior dash obstacle course. This is so so cool, will definitely consider it.

Wow these photos are so awesome, really great captures. I have always wanted to do one of these sorts of challenges, they look like so much fun. It’s on my bucket list. Thanks so much for sharing this, looks like a blast.
Omg this is so much fun. Totally a stress buster and gaining some new experiences in life.
I have always wanted to do something like this, but I always feel nervous. I know my fitness levels need a boost – this sounds ideal for that!
This looks like such a fun but difficult race! I do admire people who have the stamina to join these kinds of races. When I’m (ehem), fit enough, I’d love to try something like this!
this seems so hard and fun at the same time! cant believe how muddy it gets though…
Wow! Did you say one 5k per month?! Thats crazy! I’ve always wanted to try the Warrior Dash!
Whilst this looks like a lot of fun, is definitely not something I would even think doing. It looks very hard and my fitness level is very low, haha.
This sounds like such a lot of fun! I love that you can fundraise for St Jude’s Hospital too. I would definitely do this myself if we had it nearby!
We have something like this called Tough Mudder in the UK and my sons love it……not for me though!!
The Warrior Dash looks like a lot of fun and also looks like it is a very tough physical challenge! That is impressive.
i’ve heard of this event but i dont think i could do it myself. its awesome to see though
This looks so fun and I bet it would burn a ton of calories.
Not for me, but I have a few friends who do this every year. They always have so much fun.
One of my best friend since high school loves to join in this kind of event. She mention about how fulfilling it is once you finished it. I haven’t tried it yet though.
This is such a cool activity to be in. I love every obstacle that’s in setup here, they are all challenging. Hope to try try in the near future.
Yes!!! This is such a fun experience and I feel that everyone should do it at least once! Great read and photos!
I’m not one to typically compete in these types of races, but this actually looks like so much fun!
What a great family activity. Not only are you exercising together,, but you are giving back to families in need. This is very inspiring
I always wanted to join warrior dash. Itw as really a great obstacle race. So I am planning to join with my husband. It would be happy for sure
The Warrior Dash looks like a lot of fun! I truly do not have the strength or stamina to complete it
I’ve always wanted to give these races a try, but this one looks intense! I don’t know how I feel about the fire. I know one electrocutes you and I don’t think I could give that a try either!
This is great. I think it would be just as much fun to be a spectator as it would be to participate.
Wow one 5K a month is quite ambitious. This one looks like so much fun and it’s great that kids 10+ can participate as well.
OMG this looks like the version of Kitchen Nightmares of Chef Gordon Ramsey but in athletics! So hardcore. Love this,.
These courses look so challenging and fun. I wish I could get physically motivated to do one@
This sounds like the ultimate endurance event! Good luck with the challenge x
Ahh this looks like too much fun! I want to train for one… I know my friends said it was challenging… but more so a blast!
