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. This is achieved by working with students through a program called iMPOWER which delivers 16 one hour weekly sessions. Be the Change has successfully impacted thousands of teens in the Permian Basin and this event ensures they can continue to reach many more!
Registration Details:
For the GROUP races you will sign up individually under the desired tab- BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE or ADVANCED. Each group will determine if the group, as a whole, is BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE, or ADVANCED to ensure correct time slot is assigned. Then, during registration, you will be REQUIRED to either join an EXISTING group or create a NEW group. IF you create a NEW group you will create a GROUP PASSWORD to share with other group members. Groups are required to have at least 3 participants.

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.

Is there a "penalty" for not completing an obstacle?

We highly encourage group participation for successful completion of each obstacle.
