It was to Lucy Park I ventured this third Saturday of the 2026 version of April, for the first time in quite a few days, for some salubrious nature communing in chilly temperatures requiring outer wear not usually needed this time of the year at this location on the planet.
Arriving at Lucy Park I was surprised to see virtually every parking spot in the park already occupied. It took some driving to finally find a parking spot. Lucy Park is a big park, with a lot of parking spots.
So, what was going on? I soon learned the congestion was caused by something called T.H.O.R.

Texoma's Hellacious Obstacle Run
When I got back to computer access I Googled "THOR Village Lucy Park Wichita Falls Texas" because that was what I saw on a sign upon entering the park Googling I came to a THOR website with the following explanation...

T.H.O.R. represents everything that is right with the world today – mud, guts and everybody nuts. Experience the insanity and the awesome adrenaline rush.
The off-road adventure starts in Lucy Park and winds along the Wichita River, past the Falls, through Camp Fillers, and back to Lucy Park. Fierce obstacles and mud riddled trails stand between you and victTHORy. They will have food, beverages and music for participants and spectators to enjoy while experiencing this fun adventure event. Step up to the starting line and face the 20+ challenging obstacles that await you, including several new surprises every year! You think you’re tough enough? Come test your THORtitude at Texoma’s roughest run on record!
Many of the obstacles were muddy, hence seeing so many people covered with mud. The end of the course had a hosing station to wash off some of the mud. This obstacle run had no appeal to me, but it sure looked like a lot of people were having a lot of fun. Hundreds upon hundreds of muddy people.

I took the above photo soon upon beginning my nature communing, because I was struck by how much greener the landscape had become since my last Lucy Park visit. The above photo documentation was an area where no THOR people could be seen. This was south of the part of the park I refer to as the Lucy Park Backwoods Jungle.
The Backwoods Jungle was where some of the obstacles were, such as the one in the photo documentation at the top.
