A group of friends from college and myself still try and make an attempt to get together each summer for an “epic trip.” Last year we rented a huge cabin in the Smokey Mountains; we’ve lived on our friend’s houseboat where we wakeboard during the day and a myriad of other vacations.
Monday, I received the e-mail highlighting this year’s excursion — The Warrior Dash!
If you’ve never heard of it, go to Youtube and check out the videos. If you’ve run in one, leave your comments below . . . I’m dying to learn about your experiences.
After a lot of discussion, we discovered that a lot of our friends want to do the Warrior Dash. If a lot of my friends want to try the race, I bet your members do too.
But, how do you keep them from running off to random parts of the globe to experience this race? You’ve got to know someone with a farm near your town. Go out and create a Warrior Dash sponsored by your club. For legal reasons, you may need to name it something else, but you can launch the general idea. Start doing it twice a summer, or once in the spring and once in the fall.
Give your members a fun event that they will plan their year around. Everyone has 5k races — you should have something unique. Running races through mud, water and fire is extremely unique.
If you don’t have a desire to launch your own race, rent a tour bus and take your members on a vacation for the Warrior Dash. The locations are as follows:
- Arizona
- Maryland
- Pennsylvania
- New England
- Washington
- Kansas City
- British Columbia
- New York
- Carolinas
- Tennessee
- Oklahoma
- Missouri
- Central Texas
- Georgia
- Ohio
- Midwest
- Ontario
- Minnesota
- Michigan
- Indiana
- Rockies
- Oregon
- Upper Midwest
- Virginia
- Norcal
There are a plethora of locations to make sure you are able to exercise your right for the Warrior Dash. Put up a poster, play some videos on your screens and go out this year with your members and run a Warrior Dash — I am!
