The residents of Milton were filled with pride recently as Campbellville’s Kyle Stafford was placed in the top 10 per cent of finishers at the local heat of the popular 5km Warrior Dash.
Kyle’s particular race attracted more than 2,500 competitors, all of whom did their best to complete the rugged track, which was modeled on a military style course. The Warrior Dash is the largest series of its kind in the world, with events held each year across a number of continents.
While a Print company had been called upon to produce T-Shirts for the participants, it didn’t take long before everyone’s clothes were covered in mud and water. The racers scaled walls, climbed cargo nets, jumped fire pits, and even crawled under several sections of barbed wire. The terrain was rough and there were plenty of steep hills.
Kyle became interested in the race last year when he heard about it from a work colleague. A long time runner, he practiced his cross-country style for several months before the event, making use of the conservation areas surrounding his hometown.
The competition was tough but friendly, with the participants encouraging everyone else to keep going and even helping each other when they could. In spite of the grueling course, everyone seemed to be having a great time.

The money raised form the weekend-long event will be used to support the Toronto Sick Kid’s Hospital, although the specific figure hasn’t yet been revealed.
