Registration is open for the mud-crawling fire-jumping obstacle race, the Warrior Dash, which returns to North Bend July 21 and 22.

North Bend first hosted the two-day event last year, bringing in 24,000 participants July 16 and 17, snarling traffic, and creating money-making opportunities for enterprising groups who ran parking concessions, among other options. It was the first venue in Washington for the race, produced by Red Frog Events.

This year, another Washington venue, Battle Lake has been added to the race schedule. Overall, the Warrior Dash will visit more than 40 sits in the U.S., British Columbia, and the United Kingdom.

Cost of registration is $65 for Saturday or $55 for Sunday, now through May 27. After that date, the cost increases $10. Registration deadline is July 9. To register, visit http://warriordash.com/register2012_washington.php.
