On Saturday, September 7, The Texas Iron Spikes volunteered in the Ridiculous Obstacle Challenge (R.O.C) Race. This 5K event was held in Lake Travis Convention Center and it included a challenging, yet entertaining race that included water slides, Tarzan ropes, even giant wrecking balls and so much more. The Iron Spikes volunteered by providing water to those competing in the race as well as helping the R.O.C Race Crew with maintaing stations and driving volunteers to different obstacles throughout the course. The 5K was a smashing success and a lot of fun for everyone who came out this weekend.
