2024 Texas Warrior Mudout

Texas Warrior Mudout is BACK!

 

This year we BRING BACK the kids competition - KID'S KRUSADE (ages 8+)!! 

 

The original TEAM competition is still on with BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE, and ADVANCED categories. You may also create a team within KID'S KRUSADE although this is not required for this category! TEAMS are required for the 5k event!

 

Be the Change Permian Basin & Midland Athletic Company continue their partnership to produce the only muddy obstacle course event in the Permian Basin!

 

As part of The Permian Athletic Event Series we are happy to host an event that provides a unique opportunity for individuals to challenge themselves while creating comradery with others. We believe movement, relationships and the outdoors are essential pillars of health and this event is a bullseye for all three! Bring your friends, family, and/or co- workers for this fun filled event! 

 

This 5k mudder obstacle course will feature 25 obstacles that will be sure to bring the WARRIOR out in you. 

 

Texas Warrior Mudout is benefiting Be the Change Permian Basin who are committed to bringing healing, hope, and connection to our teens in the area. Their goal is to inspire teens to be the change they wish to see in the world.

If my race begins later do I need to arrive by 7:30am? Not necessarily. We do recommend arriving at least 45 minutes before your scheduled race time- see race day schedule. Of course, you can show up early and stay all day if you choose! 

Where can I park my car? There is parking on site with a qualified parking team. Please respect parking team and other participants and spectators which mobilizing your vehicle.

How many people are in a group for the group runs? As many as you want! Remember, teams must cross the finish line at the same time.

Are there awards? No, the main goal of this race is to have fun, build community, and work together. After this race- you are all winners! 

Will there be gear check? Yes. On the day of the race, you can bring your race bag (given to you at packet pick up) with designated bag check bracelets to the Gear Check location (one bracelet goes on your bag, the other on your wrist). Cost is $5 (please bring cash) for safe storage of your items. You can pick up at any point in time during the event. 

How do I choose between BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE, and ADVANCED run categories? You are considered a beginner if you, or anyone in your group, is NEW to obstacle course racing. You are considered intermediate if you and ALL the members of your group have completed 1-2+ obstacle course races and are also regularly active. You are considered advanced if you and ALL the members of your group have completed 3+ obstacle course races and are also regularly- highly active. PLEASE NOTE: Your choice in these categories is based on the honor system. When in doubt, choose the less advanced categories for the safety of you as a participant and other participants as well. 

Will there be showers available? A large outdoor shower will be available near the finish line to clean off accumulated mud. 

Is there a "penalty" for not completing an obstacle? No. But to ensure fairness, if a participant is unable to complete an obstacle in 3 attempts he/she will step to the side of the obstacle and move on with their team. We highly encourage group participation for successful completion of each obstacle.

What ages can participant in the Kid's Krusade? Ages 8+ are welcome to this event. Participants can create a team or run alone in this category. Adults may run with their kids in this category but will need to create a team in Kid's Krusade to do so. 

How safe are the obstacles in the Kid's Krusade? Participants in the Kid's Krusade will cover 6 obstacles over approximately 1. 8 mile. These obstacles include 2 mud pits, rope climb, a large web to climb, climbing walls and a traverse. The mud pits have water which may reach knee or thigh high in some children. The rope climb and web will have volunteers to ensure safety but climbing to approximately 8+ feet is involved. At any time if a child does not feel comfortable, they do not have to complete an obstacle. Parents may run with children but will need to create a team under the Kid's Krusade category.
