Obstacle course racers in Arkansas will have many options to choose from in 2013, and possibly more as directors continue to finalize dates. See Mud Runs in Arkansas for a current list of events. The first event of the year is a wonderfully creative one called the Hillbilly Mud Run. Each obstacle has a hillbilly motif, like the silo climb or the feedbag haul. You are eligible for a prize if you run the fastest or if you collect the most pigs. Lots of toy-pigs will be all over the course, and you win if you complete the race with more pigs than anyone else! A very creative idea! Two other locally organized events in the Natural State are Lizard Creek and Conquer the Gauntlet.
In addition to the locally organized events, two national series will come to Arkansas in 2013. The Warrior Dash will make a repeat performance in Little Rock so participants can don their warrior helmets from last year and enjoy the balance beams, barbed-wire crawls, cargo nets, and of course the fire jumps that the Warrior Dash is famous for. If women want to race without the men around, they can check out Dirty Girl.
Each of the events hosted in Arkansas is quite welcoming to newbies. They are all about 3 miles long, though the Hillbilly Mud Run has a 6 mile option.
So go round up some piggies or get your warrior on! There's plenty to keep you busy in Arkansas this year!
