The Winter Warrior Challenge will return for its second year on Saturday, Feb. 15, and registration is open for the event’s fun and wintry competition.  

Winter Warrior include four components: an obstacle course race for children, a “Winter Warrior” obstacle challenge for parents and individuals, team challenges such as a fire truck pull, and a sports festival for participants and spectators (including a kid- and family-friendly fire truck pull).

• Kids Obstacles: A fun, non-competitive course includes a rock wall, hazard walls, cargo net, agility poles, teeter plank, monkey bars, floating steps, tire run, and noodle tower. 
• “Winter Warrior Challenge”: Show your grit on a cold 2.5-mile course with 10 obstacles. Look for things like sand mounds, tires, teeter-totters and monkey bars along the way. This race is reserved for participants ages 14 and older. All survivors receive an exclusive Winter Warrior Challenge finisher T-shirt.
• “Winter Warrior” Team Challenges: Teams of four from local businesses, organizations, churches and other groups will compete in events such as a fire-truck pull, dummy rescue and tire-flip relay. 
• “Winter Warrior” Festival: Vendors, hot chocolate, music and heaters will be on hand for participants and spectators.

Registration for all events is open now, and discounted fees will be available through 4 p.m. Feb. 12. For complete information and registration, visit ocnj.us/race-events.
