Take Part In 2nd 'Winter Warrior Challenge' In Ocean City

OCEAN CITY, NJ — Keep the winter blues at bay with the Winter Warrior Challenge in Ocean City. This event returns for its second year on Feb. 15 and registration is now open.

Winter Warrior includes 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).

From the Ocean City Recreation Division:

• 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.
