Race Report from Warrior Run at Labrador Mountain

Written by Jake

The event was held on Saturday 28th at Labrador Mountain in Tully NY. The venue was decent as there was a lot of space and about 35-50% of the race was viewable from the crowd at the bottom.

Overview: Ran up a trail, slid down, ran over fire and hay bales, ran back up to pretty much the top of the mountain, down through the woods, back up, then down. Total of 5k with like 3 ascents.

Pros: Lots of fun people. The first obstacle was a huge "slip and slide" of basically a gigantic tarp that they blew the snow guns on. It was about 200ft long but eventually people slid through the mud all the was to the bottom of the hill.

Cons: running up an down the ski hill about three times. Holy cow that was insane. Nobody was prepared for that. There were also a lack of real good obstacles. They were all really easy and made a lot of bottlenecks. Plus at the end there was not a complimentary beer for competitors.

Overall: it was a good experience but I'd rather do a tough muddier or warrior dash next. You could tell it was a massive rip-off of warrior dash. The top time of the day was 25 minutes, my time was 31 minutes and good for top 13 of the first two waves which I was happy about.

Final thoughts: If the hills at the boilermaker are like running up a ski hill I will be screwed.
