Warrior Dash

2016 Warrior Dash Obstacle Collapse On October 9, 2016, a climbing obstacle known as the "Diesel Dome" collapsed during a Warrior Dash event at the West Feliciana Parish Sports Park, located approximately 30 miles from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

According to Chief Deputy State Fire Marshal Brant Thompson, when boards became detached from the main frame during the event, organizers attempted minor repairs rather than closing the obstacle.

As of July 31, 2019, Red Frog events is no longer a company and has cancelled all Warrior Dash races and ceased operations.

Registration for Warrior Dash takes place online prior to deadlines put forth by Red Frog Events.
