The East Tennessee boys are offering you degenerates with some relief from your winter Cola Blue Balls.  You will be provided with a "fun" obstacle course, the cheapest clearance-rack delicious peeps I can find, a lovely half mile jog with lots of hills, a range, and a place to call up some Appalachian holler ghosts using the native tongue of Mountain Dew spew.  In celebration of the first Cola in Tennessee, I will even provide a place to poop.  Y'all spoiled.

This is a "bring your own everything" event. There will be no donations (eating crow here 20250908), no food, no water, and we are not asking sponsors for prizes. You will pack everything that you need in, and out (minus poop), when you leave. This event is on the base of a mountain and is not handicap accessible. You CAN make it with something like a 4-door sedan.  There are no services. You are responsible for yourself and anyone you bring. Do not bring your dog(s).  There's livestock and other animals around here and I don't want to be anywhere near my neighbors and you having an argument as to why Fido got 45-70'd.

Scoring:
Your time will be recorded via Sharpie marker on a used pizza box.
We play by Eminem rules meaning "You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow".  Ie no re-runs for score.  This is per class.  You run day and night combat? Those are two different scores. Day and day? No, the first score is what counts.  Come prepared, you have almost 6 months to get unfucked/unfatish.

READ THIS PART TWICE: There's black bear in the very immediate area. Yes they'll still be around in winter
If you get mauled by a bear
- during your run; you will be penalized
- after your run; maul penalty points carry over to the next year
- prior to your run and are still capable of running; you will be penalized after your final time
- and don't run; you are banned from this Cola event.
- and die and have any progeny that run a Cola in the future; your children will have a permanent penalty attached to their run in memory of you not doing enough PT
bkpkr will make the final call on the amount of penalty time based on the severity of the injury.  

Runner Capacity:
Open to 40 runners + 10 local noobs and we'll open the standby list if necessary.  10 is a lot of noobs, but I'd like to have more Cola vets in the area so we can grow the community locally.

That being said

If this is your first Cola Warrior event you need to be sponsored/recommended by an existing Cola Vet attending the event. If a Cola Vet's +1 violates the rules and is asked to leave, they (the Cola Vet) may be asked to accompany their +1's departure. If you're new and without a Cola Vet sponsor contact me via PM.

When:
Jan 29 - 31 2026

Where:
1 Hour East of Knoxville, TN - Grid coords to be sent closer to event time

Why:
Because you aren't afraid of a challenge and want to know how you stack up against your peers.

Accommodations:
There will be primitive camping on site. No campers or trailers. No power and no water.  I have a blackstone I'll haul to the campsite for use by participants.  Don't be cooking fish on it.  Dinner will be provided on Friday evening / night.  Vehicles will only be allowed to park at a certain location (it will be marked).  I'm saying this twice so no one is surprised. NO ATVs, UTVs, side by sides, motorcycles, etc, DO NOT BRING THEM.  

Event Swag:
TLDR; no run, no swag.
Shirts will be available for pickup at the event by the runner.  I understand that things happen and VALID last minute cancellations occur, but you need to have run to pick up swag. If you run and have to leave early / forget to grab your shit, get a buddy to grab it.  You pay for a t-shirt and don't run - it'll feed the fire.  Accepting PayPal / Venmo in advance for orders.  There will be a cut off date for orders determined closer to the event date.

The rules:
Follow all staff direction
Follow all firearms safety rules
Follow all range officer commands at all times
No handling of firearms after drinking
Must sign a waiver before running the course
Don't fuck up the roads
Park where we tell you to park
Don't fall off the mountain or get eaten by a bear
If you break any of these rules you will be banned from this Cola Warrior

5-minute penalty for visible light ND, 10-minute penalty for prolonged use. 5 minute penalty for prolonged use of IR Illum or laser when not actively engaging targets. Must be shot with suppressed pistol (with the exception of the first FRIDAY night shooter on pistol only - may run without a can) and rifle. You can borrow a can if someone is willing to lend you one since it can be challenging for some to travel with them, but the rifle and pistol must be yours.

Clarification to the rules per the sultan of night for you speshul people:

-No borrowing of any equipment other than suppressors. Bring your own stuff.

-If you attempt to holster your pistol with the illuminator and/or laser still active, you will be assessed a penalty.

-If you attempt to put your rifle down to go chug with your laser and/or illuminator still active, you will be assessed a penalty.

-Night RO/spotter will give binary confirmation if asked if your laser is aiming in the vicinity of a target (on the correct berm). Night spotter and spectators will not steer your laser into a target. ID and shoot your targets by yourself. You may ask the RO if you are aiming near a target for safety.

Even if it's an SKS, my first time holding one was sitting on a toilet seat in the woods with a peep in my mouth. It's fine.

SKS is just a Down syndrome version of an AK. You’ll be able to figure it out live.
