2nd Annual Hardship Hill Obstacle Course race

For the second year in a row, F3 Knoxville is hosting  The Hardship Hill Team Obstacle Course Race ON MAY 18, 2019  to benefit Operation Enduring Warrior.
The races consist of teams with 2-8 members taking turns running a 2-mile loop filled with 25 obstacles over grass, dirt and mud. We have 5-hour and 10-hour options where the goal is to get as many laps completed by your team as possible within the allotted time. With the success of the 2018 race, we are expecting more than 200 participants with many bringing their families to support them. We will also have a shorter 1-mile kids race to kick things off the day of the race at 9:00 a.m. The race will be held again in beautiful Kingston, Tennessee at Fort Southwest Point Park overlooking the lake.  For more information about the race or to register go to www.dirtybirdevents.com/hardship-hill-ocr OR checkout our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/hardshiphillocr

Ecclesiastes 4:9 •
“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.”

When individuals work together, they can double their strength and get much more done as a team. They also reap the value of having worked in unison, thus creating harmony instead of disorder. Working as one people begins with the efforts of each person, as they work with another person.

• Proverbs 27:17•
“Iron sharpeneth iron; so man sharpens another.”

A team has checks and balances, one person watches the other one’s back. They help them if they falter or lose sight of the goal, just like in friendship. A good friend isn’t someone who always agrees with you, what you do, or what you say. A real friend is someone that is willing to challenge you, to be better as a person. A team player encourages his fellow team mates to be better players. Teamwork and friendship both work in very similar ways.
