THOR stands for Texoma's Hellacious Obstacle Run. It is possible that THOR is the one thing you've been missing out on your entire life. Simply put, THOR is a 5(ish)K trail run full of obstacles and adventure. You'll be expected to jump, run, wade, climb, traipse, hustle, dash, duck, dodge, and jump throughout the adventurous course designed to be fun, but competitive. You will get dirty. And you will like it. Actually, you will most likely end up loving it.

Easy peezy! Early registration is located online (on this very website!). It's fast and simple. You can also sign up the day of the event, but you will have to pay more.

Early registration is $50 until March 16th. From then on you'll have to pay $60. Both prices are well worth it in my opinion though.

Because it's an honor. And a privilege. Because what else are you going to spend your money? Video games? Bubble gum? Lottery tickets? Come on now. And don't forget that giving makes the heart grow. Proceeds from THOR 2013 will benefit Straight Street as well as other needy organizations in your community.

We are glad you asked this very important question. Since we have moved our THOR Village to the area behind MPEC, please feel free to use that space to park. Plenty of space if you're one of those tailgating kinds. Please keep in mind that parking at the Bridwell Ag Center will only be used as a last resort.

You will then need to go inside the MPEC for packet pickup, to register (if you haven't already), and to sign your waiver forms. Then you will go out the back door and into the THOR Village. Feel free to check out the area and scope out the vendor booths. Next, you will walk across the bridge to the starting line near the Bridwell Ag Center. I'm guessing you will figure it out from there.

Well you obviously haven't registered yet, have you? We have figured out a way to be a little more organized this year. You will be able to pick your own run time when you register online. First come, first serve so don't be too wishy washy about it.

Fantastic! We encourage you to run with friends. In fact, the more the merrier. You will have to register individually, so just make sure everyone knows what time to register. If you have a late registrant that wants to run with you, just email us and we'll see what we can do.

We do not expect you to read and sign an Apple Terms and Conditions catalogue, but you will be expected to sign a waiver form that will be provided to you the day of the event.  A minor (15 to 17) will need a parent or guardian's signature to be allowed to participate.

At least 15 years of age at the time of the race, April 6, 2013.

A strong mind is more important that a strong body when it comes to completing THOR. If you believe deep down that you have what it takes to trek through 5(ish)K worth of off-road insanity, then it can be done. Look into your heart. Then look into your heart's heart. There, and only there, can an answer be found.

And remember, don't be scared! Keep in mind that you participate at your own pace. Walk if you want. Skip if you feel the urge. If you're in a group, go at your group's pace. Come across an obstacle too challenging? Go around it. The course is designed to be competitive but fun for all.

Also, medical staff will be on site and on call in case something were to happen.

My goodness you are full of insightful queries today. There will be plenty of food and beverages for sale in the THOR Village located directly behind the MPEC. Vendors will be there willing and waiting to eliminate your THORian thirst.

You wear whatever you want to wear… as long as you're wearing something. Be creative. Costumes are encouraged, especially group costumes. Also, facial hair is 100% welcome.

Finishing THOR is its own prize. It's a run, not a race. If we could somehow concoct a method of measuring who had the most fun, we would assuredly give a prize for that. But alas, technology can only take us so far. We may, however, give prizes for most creative costume, the THORest beard, most exciting group, most likely to succeed, etc.
