T.H.O.R. represents everything that is right with the world today - mud, guts and everybody nuts. Trust us... someone nuts is going to be running with or near you. Come experience the insanity and the awesome adrenaline rush.

The 5K(ish) run starts and ends at our awesome T.H.O.R. village. We will have food, beverages and music for participants and spectators to enjoy while experiencing this fun adventure event . Step up to the starting line and face the 20+ challenging obstacles that await you, including several new surprises every year!

Afraid you are not up to the challenge? Don't worry, you can go at your own pace and walk if you need to. Also, most obstacles have a by-pass option if you are having trouble or just don't feel up to tackling a particular obstacle.

As always, we expect fair team play with random strangers. Remember this event is about having an old-fashioned roll in the mud good time and supporting two great local non-profit organizations. All proceeds benefit Wichita Falls Streams & Valleys and Leadership Wichita Falls (LWF).

Us adults shouldn't get to have ALL the fun... so we have something for the younger adventure seekers out there too! We have a totally separate course built just for the kids ages 4 -12. Kid's early registration price is just $25 up thru February 28th (after that it is $30 until the day of the event and $35 onsite).

We can't wait to see you on April 18th 2026! Come get your THOR on!

The Home for Freedom Marathon will take place on Saturday, October 17, 2026. The event features a Full Marathon, Half-Marathon, and 5K. The Start/Finish line area is located in Lucy Park at the pavilion. A spaghetti dinner will be available for all participants on Friday October 16, 2026 from 5pm - 8pm, at the same time & location as packet pick up. (Location for pre-race spaghetti dinner and packet pickup TBA).

Participants in the Full Marathon (26.2 miles), Half Marathon (13.1 miles), and 5K (3.1 miles) will experience a dynamic and scenic route through the center of Wichita Falls. Lucy Park, spanning 178 acres along the Wichita River, offers a picturesque environment with mature pecan and cottonwood trees, as well as a variety of native and introduced species. Notable features include a man-made waterfall (under construction beginning August 2026 thru summer 2028), a swinging bridge over the Big Wichita River, and areas dedicated to the nature center - providing an engaging backdrop for all race distances.

Home for Freedom is a Wichita Falls local non-profit 501(c)(3) organization committed to constructing tiny homes for veterans experiencing housing insecurity. The organization has successfully completed its first tiny home, which is now occupied by a veteran who was previously homeless and is benefiting from our program, and tiny home #2 is already underway!

https://homeforfreedom.org/

Without any donations, it costs approximately $50,000 to fund the expenses associated with one tiny home. These costs include building materials, furnishings, appliances, and all necessary household and personal items to ensure comfortable living in the tiny home while participating in a holistic social services program alongside a case manager.

We are confident that this initiative will have a positive effect on Wichita Falls, TX. The Marathon aims to transcend the traditional race format, fostering community spirit by uniting neighbors, families, and friends in a purposeful manner. Through this effort, our goal is to stimulate local business growth, support charitable organizations, and enhance the overall vibrancy and well-being of our city.

If the participant wants to switch distances after transfer, they may do so once registration for next year’s race officially opens (tentatively December - January of each year).

Please note the following terms and conditions of switching events: If a participant drops down to a shorter race distance, no refund of the registration cost difference will be provided. If a participant switches to a longer race distance, the participant will need to pay the difference in registration costs, based on the date of when the participant chooses to switch to the longer race distance, not based on the cost at the date of original registration.
