1000 Strong Overcoming Obstacles 5K

1867 Fordyce Rd, Victoria TX

Saturday, April 18th, 2026

Restoration House Ministries' trail race features permanent structures, pop up challenges, and mud pits that will not only give you a great work out but also satisfy that inner desire to OVERCOME! These same obstacles that will be used for health, well-being and competition will be a symbol of how we can overcome all of our obstacles with God's love working though our community. And in doing so, you will be supporting young women & men in overcoming their obstacles of trauma, abuse and addictions and helping put the homeless in our community on a path to restoration.

Appreciate health & wellness vendors, food trucks, and more.

T-shirt deadline: March 28

Workout gloves will help you on the pressure wall and monkey bars. Teammates can also help you complete an obstacle. You can skip an obstacle for 20 burpees. If you can do neither, surrender your bracelet to the obstacle volunteer. You can still complete the race but just will be unable to receive an award. Teams must complete the race and finish together--no one left behind.
