Love obstacle races in WA?

Do you have friends that love relay or obstacle races in Washington such as Tough Mudder, Spartan Race, or Warrior Dash? Many people do for the physical challenge, sense of camaraderie with a team, or for that sense of accomplishment at the finish.

Do you ever wonder how much energy is expended at these events –when at the end of the day there is nothing left behind to show for it? Depending on how many months in advance someone registers and how many are on a team, these obstacle races cost participants between $65-$220.
Any of those friends and their team can reap those same rewards *for free* and help out someone that can’t afford those types of recreational events, let alone a gym membership to train for them.

Try suggesting the idea that they could spend a mere 7 hours on a Saturday volunteering for Habitat for Humanity. They’ll use their bodies, experience camaraderie, feel accomplished, and they’ll permanently lift a family out of poor living conditions.
I’ve done it before and it was a good workout.

Build locations are available on Saturdays from 9am to 4pm. No experience required, all tools and materials are provided, and volunteers receive direction, support, training and supervision.

Testimonial

I’ve found martial arts training to be a fantastic way to relieve the stresses of modern life and a great way to keep in shape while pursuing the obvious goal of learning a self defense discipline. Whether you can only go once in awhile, or several times per week, I can’t say enough good about the training. I always leave feeling refreshed and energetic and that helps me to tackle a hectic schedule. Also, I’ve been plagued with back troubles for most of my adult life and the workouts and stretching do wonders for keeping my back in order. I’ve known Rob for about 7 years and met him when I first began my martial arts journey. Rob was a lead instructor at a local martial arts school, where I trained previously, before beginning his own school. I’ve trained with him in several different martial arts disciplines and I know Rob to be very dedicated, knowledgeable, and experienced in the various training methods. In addition to being a skilled trainer and teacher, he has a wealth of knowledge and a great proficiency in the martial arts. In addition to his qualifications I know him to be very patient and caring with his new trainee’s, as well as an all around great guy!! Whether you’re an experienced practitioner, or have no experience and a desire to try out martial arts, you couldn’t ask for a better teacher and I encourage you to go for it!
