Obstacle Course Races in Arizona 2013


Obstacle Course Races Arizona 2013

Arizona's 2013 obstacle course race calendar is more packed with events than in has ever been. Arizona athletes can already choose from over 14 different events, and several more will likely be added in the next few months.  Click here for a complete list of 2013 Mud Runs in Arizona. 

All of the big players in obstacle course racing are headed to Arizona this year, such as the Spartan Race and the Warrior Dash.  The majority of the Arizona Obstacle races this year are near Phoenix and Tucson, but there are also a few scattered around other parts of the state.

Most of these events are suitable for newbies. The Spartan Sprint or the Survivor Mud Run are both about 5k and feature obstacle that most fit people would be able to do. Many of the beginner races also have specific themes. For example, Run for Your Lives has zombies that run after participants to take health flags. A participant only gets on the "survivor list" if they finish with at least one health flag.  If you want a less "scary" theme, Run Drenched might be your race.  Volunteer throw water balloons at you in that one! 

If you have already done one of the beginning level races or just feel you are ready for a greater challenge, try your hand at Toro Loco or Tough Mudder. No matter what your fitness level, Arizona has a obstacle course race that will challenge you to pursue new fitness goals.
