What is ThunderDash?
The Original ThunderDash is a 5K mob run with obstacles that include but are not limited to mud climbing, mud crawling, mud jumping, etc. Located on a beautiful piece of land outside of Comfort Texas with natural mud pits, 30 foot deep quarries to climb in and out of and much much more. The obstacles are man-made, nature-made, man-made natural obstacles, and naturally man-made obstacles. Many of the obstacles will encourage team efforts for easier completion so call your buddies and sign up today.
Added this year we have a whole new challenge…The 5K Fitness Challenge!
The 5K Fitness Challenge has you completing a 5K trail run with “Fitness Stations” located along the route spaced about 1/2 mile apart. No Mud or Obstacles but still the great challenge that THUNDERDASH is known for. Expect a 5K course on well-worn and groomed jeep trails through coastal and bermuda hay fields with stations where you will have to complete basic “Boot camp” style calisthenics. We’ll probably warm you up with some jumping jacks or maybe some squats but you can count on the evil BURPEE (Check out How to do a Burpee) somewhere along the course. You won’t set a 5K PR but you will finish with a great sense of accomplishment and massive bragging rights.
For those that want more sign up for the COMBO RUN! Complete the 5K Fitness Challenge and head right back out onto the original THUNDERDASH course for a total 10K Challenge and Mud RUN!
Early registration will guarantee your pick of start times; waves could fill up fast!
