Competitors from across the area gathered Saturday at Camelback Ranch to run a 3.2-mile obstacle course over walls, across ropes, down slides and through mud.
Warrior Dash bills itself as the world's largest obstacle race series, held on the most rugged terrain in more than 50 locations across the globe.
Warriors faced 12 obstacles on the course:
Under The Wire - Crawling through the mud sound like fun? Now, add 100 feet of real barbed wire to encourage you not to lift your head too high.
Shocktop Unfiltered - Up and under three sets of barricades. Use your hops!
Mud Mounds - What it sounds like: slide into a muddy pit then battle your way up a muddy mound. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Except no washing or rinsing.
Great Warrior Wall - Scale a 14-foot wall using a rope caked in mud.
Deadman's Drop - After a 20-foot climb, you'll straddle the ledge before sliding down and hitting the ground running.
Chaotic Cargo - Climb up 60 feet of cargo net and cross another 10 feet of shifting cargo.
Diesel Dome - A 30x50 wooden dome that'll work your arms and legs and trigger your vertigo.
Trenches - Not just a ditch. Dive in and crawl toward the light. It's 40 feet of mud and darkness and at this point you'll be too tired to turn back.
High Tension - Cross a 30-foot slackline over a water pit that is filled with pirhana. Just kidding about the pirhana. Probably.
Pipeline - Make your way through a tube made of cargo netting suspended 12 feet above the ground.
Goliath - As you may have guessed from the name, this thing is huge: climb up the beast then race across a two-story balance beam before slididing 30 feet into the mud pit below. So much awesome.
Muddy Mayhem - No one is getting out of this one clean. A 100-foot-long mud pit that requires an Army-crawl under the barbed wire to make it to the finish line.
According to the warriordash.com website, warriors have raised more than $10 million for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital and donated more than 70,000 pairs of shoes.
