White Hills, AZ

Greetings Peepgrams,

On the other side of the screen, it all looks so easy .

Puketronic gladiators rejoice and lament.

Click ME to check out the AAR thread...

I am Peep Flynn, freedom fighter for the oppressed programs of the grid. I invite you to power on your light cycle. Don your power disk. And prepare to fight together to defeat master command.



Stories of years past whisper in the hills, and the great path once again calls.

Many had been lost there, returning changed. Rumors of a ghost, speaking in concise but mystical terms of building men.

The stranger was right, he had been watching. It was time again to gather and explore. To grow and learn.

Great obstacles await those who would dare venture to the Wasteland. Deep ravines, vehicle destroying monoliths left by prior civilizations.

Who will brave the challenges to arrive, only to face the unknown? Will they conquer, or be conquered?

SIGNUP LINK
(You must fill out the form to make the run list)



Breakdown of this years slot assignment:

15 Staff slots and sponsor slots.

10 slots for WEST Top 10, including Top 2 NVG and Women from West events. First come, first served.

25 slots for Cola Vets, any event. Randomly drawn after signups close.

15 slots for noobs/+1s.

10 random draws, 5 video essays which can include chug attempts. Chug, make videos. Make all the videos.

1st time to Cola Warrior? You need to be sponsored/recommended by an existing Cola Vet. 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 a noob without a Cola Vet sponsor please contact me via PM.

Standby will be arranged by timestamp on the signup form.

Signups close March 2nd and will be posted for the final time on March 7th. After that, your in is by video challenge. Chug a 2 liter, make it interesting. Group response will decide.

When: 18-21 March 2026. Note: on the signup screen, if you sign up to be staff, you must be on-site for setup and early runs prior to the main event.

Where: White Hills, Arizona in the Mojave Wasteland! The turn-off is 50-70 miles from McCarran Airport in Las Vegas. And about another 40 minute drive on dirt roads. A decent clearance vehicle is urged but 4WD is not necessary. Oh, and please note: there is no cell phone service for a couple of miles. This means that during an awkward silence in a conversation, one can't just whip out their gadget. I highly recommend anyone without a truck to park at the rendezvous point and be shuttled in, also, for those heading in please check the RP for people and give a ride to anyone you can. There were no casualties in 2015 and 2017, so things should be fine...right? Maybe a few tires were sacrificed in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 - ok please aim to miss the big sharp rocks. Maps will be emailed as we get closer to the event. There will be 2 travel paths outlined, 1 more direct from Las Vegas which has recently been recut and widened. I now haul my 30' camper trailer this route. The road is quite nice! The other is more direct from Kingman which accommodates oversized vehicles (Dolan Springs).

Local accommodations: There are 3 gas stations on Highway 93 within a mile of the White Hills turn-off. There is a cafe and some small fast-food spots. There is also now one at Stockton Hill Rd. & Pierce Ferry Rd. Only expect these places to have the basics as far as supplies. If you would like to stay in civilization and just drive out for the events, Las Vegas/Henderson/Boulder City is your closest place for that on the Nevada side, and Kingman is almost equal distance on the Arizona side.

Sleeping arrangements on-site: People have successfully brought travel trailers & small motorhomes, if you have one that meets the clearance criteria, feel free to bring it. Your recommended route with larger vehicles and trailers is through Dolan Springs. Otherwise, please pack whatever camping gear in the manner you are accustomed. Tent, sleeping bag, and I recommend a tarp to place your tent on. If you have a pop-up shade structure, I recommend bringing it. It hasn't been hot during the day in years past - however, shade is nice and helps prevent sunburns.

Restrooms: Porta-potties on site.

Food: With enough donations, we plan to have meals. Once an attendee list is finalized and a count determined - we'll know if it's dirt mixed with water or cooked food. Plan to have a few things with you to munch on if you got busy and missed a meal. Chefs are volunteers and don't cook to order. Sadly this year our bestest of chefs started a new job and can't attend. Please message me if you're interested in heading up a meal or several meals.
Weds - roughing it, not many normally arrive this day
Thurs - Breakfast Lunch and Dinner
Fri - Breakfast Lunch and Dinner
Sat - Breakfast

Donations: There is no entry fee. That being said - organizing meals, latrines and incidentals take bucks. Averaged out over attendees is around $75 per person. Please give in what way you can so we can have the things.


Paypal donation link (preferred)

Pay Pal broke FF for this account unfortunately, please cover any fees when you donate.

Follow all firearms safety rules.
No handling of firearms after drinking.
No items of a sexual nature, there are kids around.
Must sign a waiver before running the course.
Listen to CW Staff - if they tell you not to do something and you do it, you're done.
If you break any of these rules you will be banned from this and all future Cola Warriors.

COURSE RULES:
5 minute penalty for each failed obstacle.
Each obstacle must be seriously attempted for at least 10 seconds.
10 minutes to complete the obstacles.
5 minute penalty if ak47 field strip isn't complete
5 minute penalty for each uneaten peep
Last Peep must be in the mouth before the run.
5 minute penalty for each target left un-hit, one hit each steel target.
5 minute penalty for hitting pistol targets with rifle.
Reactive targets must be hit to react as designed, falling targets must fall.
10 minute total chug time allowed, everything left after will be penalized.
6x 12oz cans, 3x 24oz cans, or 1x 2liter with a 5oz chaser are the only allowed sizes. Non-standard sizes will count as 2 liter.
If you vomit before finishing a 12oz can, no matter how much is left that can it is a 5 minute penalty.
If you vomit before finishing a 24oz can, no matter how much is left that can is a 10 minute penalty.
If you vomit before finishing 2 liters, it is a 30 minute penalty

You will carry all your gear for the run after leaving the AK/peep station to the range. Cleared/safe rifle and pistol, mags [loaded?], chug, eye/ear protectioyou etc. (1/2 mile run).

Night run only: 5-minute penalty for visible light ND, 10-minute penalty for prolonged use.

Closing Ceremony:

Plan to attend. If you don't - items you may have been awarded will go back into the general prize pool. The only exception is a designated proxy who collects things on your behalf. Staff is already busy with things, so please don't request this of them.

Note:

1. The usual two pistol mags, two rifle mags rule is in effect with no capacity limit. To balance that, you only have 10 minutes from the first round fired to complete the course of fire. To avoid tearing up the nifty reactive steel targets, please don't bring calibers that exceed 3500 fps at the muzzle or 3500 ft/lbs of energy. Due to fire risk (really) and general liability, no ammo that attracts a magnet can be used.

Other Stuff:

Questions are great, but please keep an eye on this original post (OP) for the latest and greatest info.
This is a family event. We look forward to seeing the next generation of Cola Warriors advance through the ranks. We will have a kids course, which will be a miniaturized version of the regular one. Depending on age, we will use Airsoft or .22LR. If you've never been to a CW event, you won't be disappointed, these are the greatest human beings you could ever hope to puke with.

Remember to be cognizant of all state and local laws and edicts. Be courteous to those who desire safe social distancing and masks/sanitizing.

Combat class requirements:
Level 3+ special threat hard plates, front and rear
2 rifle mags with ammo
2 pistol mags with ammo
At least 1 quart of water
Medkit that consists of at least a tourniquet and combat bandage

All must be worn the entire duration and you need to have all of it on (minus used ammo) at the completion of the chug.

Night Vision, Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday night. 4 per night, 1st come, 1st served. Procrastinate? Welcome to Saturday AM day noodle run.

If you say you are in and no show, you are banned for life, and nobody wants that, man. Hit that sign-up link.

Well, since there is a special prize for a lucky non-AR competitor, I think I will use one of my FALs this year.  Just debating which one and whether or not to put my TA33 on it (assuming I can find the time to zero it for one of the FALs).  Maybe even set one up as a para.  Also debating whether or not to use rifle grenades again, lol.

I just want to assure everyone, I will make no attempt whatsoever to let the tire roll partway down the hill.  I would rather not try to beat my runaway tire distance record.

A generous sponsor will be awarding this rifle randomly at event.

To enter the drawing you must complete your timed/scored run at West this year.... with an 'other than AR' rifle.

Post up pics of your intended run rifle! Non-AR or AR!
