Rise of the Obstacles : Obstacle Wonderland, Wallkill NY (May 30-31, 2026)
Rise of the Obstacles is a two-day outdoor obstacle course event at Obstacle Wonderland in Wallkill, NY. The event offers separate days for kids and adults and provides access to permanent outdoor rigs, field obstacles, and trail sections.
Event formats and distances include:
- Adults: Crown of Fire 100 m sprint
- Adults: Dragon Slayer multi-lap endurance course (laps include trail and rig sections)
- Kids: Fire Breather 50 m sprint
- Kids: First Roar 1 km endurance course
The Crown of Fire 100 m is a lane-style obstacle sprint with dense obstacle placement and two timed attempts; the fastest time counts. The Dragon Slayer endurance format uses repeated laps with multiple passes through rigs and trail sections; strength and grip fatigue build with each lap. Kids events include competitive sprints and a non-competitive 1 km course with kid-friendly obstacles; children under six may run with parent assistance and will not be timed. Age-group awards and finisher medals are provided for most heats.
Additional on-site elements include a nonprofit Teddy Bear Crawl presence that supports hospital-bound children and an on-site 3D printing fundraiser for youth programs. The event is fully outdoor; organizers will monitor conditions and make announcements if weather creates unsafe conditions. Portable restrooms and event parking are provided on-site.
