  Artwork by MrsBig_Tex78 Ladies and gentlemen, let me invite you to an opportunity to test yourselves in the foothills of Alabama. Yes, it's still free. Sacrifice yourself on the altar of Cola if you think you are worthy. Also:  You will be provided with a challenging course, range, peeps, an outhouse, and basically nothing else. This is a "bring your own everything" event. There will be no donations, no food, no water, and we are not asking sponsors for prizes. You will pack everything that you need in, and out, when you leave. This event is on a mountain and is not handicap accessible. There are no services. You are responsible for yourself and anyone you bring. Your time will be recorded via Sharpie marker on a used pizza box. Due to the nature of the terrain and lack of infrastructure, please do not bring small children. If you are amenable to these conditions, continue reading. Open to 50 runners and we'll open the standby list if necessary. If this is your first Cola Warrior event you need to be sponsored/recommended by an existing Cola Vet attending the event. If a Cola Vet's +1 violates the rules and is asked to leave, they (the Cola Vet) may be asked to accompany their +1’s departure. If you're new and without a Cola Vet sponsor contact me via PM. When: July 24-26 Where: near Hollytree, Alabama. Address to be sent to entrants via email. Why: Because you aren't afraid of a challenge and want to know how you stack up against your peers. Accommodations: There will be primitive camping on site. No campers or trailers. No power and no water. Vehicles will only be allowed to park at a certain location (it will be marked) and you will carry all of your gear, food, water, and anything else you require for your time with us to the site. Anything you bring in will be packed out with you, including any trash. I'm saying this twice so no one is surprised. NO ATVs, UTVs, side by sides, motorcycles, etc, DO NOT BRING THEM. There is a chance that you will have to ruck all your gear in if the Haliburton Weather Machine™ decides to function that weekend. Last year it was not a problem and everyone was able to drive in, BUT JUST IN CASE, HAVE A WAY, AKA RUCKSACK, RED WAGON, ETC, TO GET YOUR NECESSITIES IN TO CAMP IF YOU ARE REQUIRED TO PARK ON THE ROAD BECAUSE OF WEATHER. Event Swag: shirts and patches will be available for pickup at the event. We're not mailing anything before or after the event so if you want a shirt and/or patch and can't make it, have someone pick them up for you. We were going to do cash only but I'm going to accept PayPal in advance so we can get better numbers. The rules: Follow all staff direction Follow all firearms safety rules Follow all range officer commands at all times No handling of firearms after drinking Must sign a waiver before running the course Don't fuck up the roads Park where we tell you to park Don't fall off the mountain If you break any of these rules you will be banned from this and all future Cola Warriors THE COURSE: OBSTACLES PEEPS AK RUN SHOOT CHUG GEAR LIST: Rifle w/mags/ammo (60 total rounds or max 2 mags) Pistol w/mags/ammo (42 total rounds or max 2 mags) Carbonated beverages totaling 72oz Motivation SODAS, EAR AND EYE PROTECTION, RIFLE, PISTOL, AND MAGAZINES WILL BE CARRIED BY THE RUNNER FROM OBSTACLES TO THE RANGE.
