Ready…set…go! May 13 will be the first ever Bedford Warrior Obstacle Course Challenge at the Agriculture Center on Midland Road from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. All prize money earned by the top three women’s and top three men’s finishers will be donated to Bedford County charities. Event organizer and local personal trainer Amanda Arnold said she’s done obstacle courses before and wanted to give the community a chance to come together and complete one for a good cause.

The course will have 10 obstacles and will be timed. Some of the obstacles will have mud and barbed wire so Arnold said be prepared to come in clothes and tennis shoes you are ready to get dirty.

There is no fee. Call Arnold at 931-206-0574 or Ron Orr at 615-598-8617 to register or to become a sponsor. Challengers can come the day of to register just be prepared to sign a waiver.

Don’t feel like completing the course? That’s alright because the event will also feature delicious local food vendors, including BYT and Los Reyes. Just bring a chair and enjoy the fun and challenging competition. A kid’s area will also be available — a great event for all ages.

Sponsors of the event include Vanderbilt, Preferred Glass, and Lee Adcock. The Duck radio station (WDUC-FM, 93.9) will also be present to broadcast the big event.
