Get ready to embrace the challenge and the mud at THOR, Texoma's Hellacious Obstacle Run, taking place on April 18, 2026, in Wichita Falls, TX. This exhilarating 5K (or "5(ish)K") off-road adventure promises a course packed with over 20 diverse and thrilling obstacles, designed to test your "THORtitude." Starting and finishing in the vibrant THOR Village at Lucy Park, the route winds along the scenic Wichita River and through Camp Fillers, offering a unique blend of trail running and adventurous challenges. Expect to encounter obstacles like hay bale climbs, cargo net crawls, the slippery "Slip N Slide," daunting tire walls, and the infamous "Gauntlet," which includes an ice bath, a giant mud hill, and spools to navigate. While generally a flat course with a net zero elevation change, the terrain is primarily trail surface, ensuring you'll get wonderfully dirty, especially with river crossings and mud pits integral to the experience.

THOR is renowned for its fun, community-focused atmosphere, making it ideal for both seasoned obstacle course enthusiasts and those looking for a memorable first-time experience. Participants frequently praise the friendly volunteers and the strong sense of camaraderie on the course, with bypass options available for most obstacles if you prefer to take it at your own pace. Typical race day conditions in April offer pleasant weather, with highs around 77°F and lows around 50°F, and only a 10% chance of precipitation, creating an ideal climate for tackling the muddy trails. Water stations are strategically placed along the course for hydration, and the lively THOR Village features food, beverages, music, and even bounce houses for spectators and families.

Beyond the personal challenge, participating in THOR supports a great cause, as all proceeds benefit local non-profit organizations like the Legacy Wellness Foundation, Wichita Falls Streams & Valleys, and the Wichita Falls Police Officers Association. For younger adventurers, a separate 1-mile Kids THOR event offers age-appropriate fun. Whether you're aiming for a competitive finish or simply looking for an old-fashioned roll in the mud with friends, THOR promises an unforgettable day of excitement and accomplishment. Come discover why this race is celebrated as "Texoma's roughest race on record" and create lasting memories in Wichita Falls.
