From the Organizer
Obstacle Wonderland is pleased to bring you the region's best permanent outdoor obstacle course!
Welcome, Wonderlanders, to our newest event: "Rise of the Obstacles" for adults and kids- a family friendly experience for every fitness level!
A New Chapter at Obstacle Wonderland – May 30-31, 2026
Welcome to Rise of the Obstacles, the evolution of Obstacle Wonderland’s signature experience, marking a new chapter where every athlete big or small, young or old, can step onto the course, face real obstacles, and RISE.
This is not just a trail run. This is not about miles. This event is all about you versus the obstacles... skill, grit, confidence, and heart.
Rise of the Obstacles offers TWO drastically different racing formats to test you on a curated lineup of OW’s most iconic and challenging builds. Every step brings you closer to mastering walls, rigs, crawls, carries, balance challenges, and Wonderland-exclusive creations you won’t find anywhere else. There are no penalties for failure- only the determination to try again. This is a race where the strongest athletes push their limits, and first-timers discover what they’re capable of.
Earn your way to the most epic medal Wonderland has ever forged- a 3D hybrid design with glow accents, obstacle-themed elements, and a backside tribute to the warriors who rise above every challenge. Are you ready?
From there, it’s simple:
Want speed? → Hit the 100M
Want endurance? → Take on the laps
Feeling good? → Do both
You’re not locked into one path.
This is pure power, precision, and execution. Athletes will face a straight-line, obstacle-packed course designed to push speed, strength, grip, and technical skill to the absolute limit. Every move matters. Any mistake costs time. This heat is built for athletes who thrive under pressure and can move aggressively while staying composed. Strategy matters, but execution wins. If you want a true test of obstacle skill where speed meets mastery, this is where you prove it. One course. One shot. One champion.
What to expect:
✔ A short, explosive competitive course
✔ Dense obstacle placement- no wasted steps
✔ Grip, strength, balance, and coordination under pressure
✔ Two attempts at the course
✔ Fastest time counts
All racers will receive a finisher medal, and additional podium awards will be given to top overall male and female, plus 1st place in each age group.
Our classic race event- with a twist. Run multiple laps of our newly designed course but with obstacle changes each round. The Endurance race blends a measured stretch of trail running with repeated assaults on Obstacle Wonderland’s signature rigs and field obstacles. Athletes will move in and out of the woods and straight into technical challenges that demand strength, grip, and mental toughness.
What to expect:
✔ Fun, non-competitive course
✔ Trail sections to test pacing and recovery
✔ Multiple passes through rigs and obstacles
✔ Strength and grip fatigue build with every lap
✔ Designed to punish poor strategy and reward smart racing
All racers will receive a finisher medal after completing their second lap, in addition to a ton of swag.
The kids are on the rise! For ONE price!
