$1,000,000

One Army has raised more than $1,000,000 for Still Creek Ranch.

Since 1988, Still Creek has rescued boys and girls from crisis environments including abuse, neglect, abandonment, sex trafficking, and restored their lives by placing them in a loving, family-style home. Over the years One Army has had the privilege to work with Still Creek by serving them in any way that we can: from raising over $1,000,000 to spending time and forming relationships with the kids. To learn more about the amazing things they do at Still Creek Ranch, visit stillcreekranch.org

Race day

Waves leave every ten minutes, so you run with the people you came with.

  1. Check-in opens

    Pick up your shirt and leave your keys at gear check. Bring a photo ID. Arrive about 45 minutes before your wave.

  2. Endurance heat

    Run the course as many times as you can before 1:00 p.m. We tally laps. Most laps wins.

  3. First wave

    A new wave goes out every ten minutes after this one.

  4. Course closes

    Bring a towel, a change of clothes, and shoes you don't mind losing to the mud.

Anyone can start, everyone can finish

It's the question we get most. Take the 3.1 miles however they suit you — push hard through the stretches you want to push, ease off on the ones you don't. Every obstacle is challenge by choice, and a One Army member works each one. There's a single water crossing, staffed by Gladiator Dash staff, with a dry route around it if you'd rather not swim.

Bring your dog. Bring your kids, too, though anyone under 18 needs a parent to sign the waiver and stay for the race.

It's great that everyone can participate at their own pace, which should encourage all ages to come out. Being a breast cancer survivor of one year, I took my time and monitored the obstacles to what I could do without hurting myself. If I can do it, so can you.
