Here is the place where we tell the tale of Flyover 4.

May the battle of man vs marshmallow be forever told so that people do not forget the threat that the puffy white villians present.

Congrats to all of the runners, you all did me proud with your performance, the course next year just got 5 notches harder.

Thank you to all of my event staff, without you it would not be a fun event that everyone is clamoring to come back to.

Thank you to all of my kitchen staff, without you I promise that people would have starved to death or mutinied.

Thank you to Chad, without you we wouldn’t have the wonderful facility that Gadsden has grown into. Also without you someone would have had more vomit to clean up around the course.

I look forward to seeing you all again next year, at Flyover 5…. The Marshmallow Strikes Back?

Awesome event as always!

Thanks to Chad, Shelby, staff and volunteers, and sponsors.

Bruises are spine are healing, sunburns are peeling, hangover is cleared up, and I’m already looking forward to the next one.

Had family in town from out of state and their visit was on the calendar first. Didn't want to ask to reschedule.

Guess I could have brought them as observers

"MAKE A DICK!"

Stoked to be apart of the Cola ~~cult~~ crew now! Placed higher than expected as a newb and already have goals set for next year to place higher. Met some internet friends and made some new ones.

Got to try everyone's favorite drink, Malort. Never had it before but heard "good" things from KaiK about it. Took a shot of what can only be described as gasoline and cat piss, to taste the liquid regret. Binary_operator comes up from behind and says, "here this is a lot better than that" and hands me a flask. Took a big swing and it was also Malort.

Already looking forward to next year.

This was a great event, some might even say it was too nice.
I don't know how you guys manage to do it, but I find that each time I am at Cola Warrior, at some point I have the thought "this might be my favorite event yet". I can't express my gratitude enough for all of the staff and sponsors that make this happen.

Posted: 7/19/2021 8:22:07 PM EDT

[#33]

Awesome time. Thanks again for you and your staff. Maybe next time I'll suck a little faster.

Yes David Thanks for now putting Buffalo Trace on the will not drink again list. Did we really need to finish the bottle? But I digress it was surely fun times and once again a list of things to improve upon.

Awesome time everyone! I can't wait til Heartland and see all my Cola peeps again, but this time in my backyard.

I'm still stoked that I got best pistol shooting. I scored an US Optics RDS and an ADW Custom Knives w/ sheath from Damn Yankee Kydex!

Im fairly happy with the obstacles part of my run, except when the tire hit my nods and knocked it off my helmet.

Also, running in the worst downpour of my life sucked too. Who turned on the FEMA Weather Machine?

A huge thanks to everyone who helps make these events run as smoothly as they do, from the organizers and staff down to the wonderful participants who pick up after themselves and pitch in where needed.

It is always great seeing everyone again and this time I was able to bring an old friend into the fold.

The disdain was for both the trash can AK and the giant mallows.

"Mom's Spaghetti" had a blast. I did also, of course.

Only pics I took were of him, kinda enjoyed the look of horror that came across his face as he ate the first marshmallow, when he realized this wasn't kid shit and he done messed up by eating lunch before his run.
