How We’re Always Striving to Improve Savage Race Based on YOUR Feedback
Hey Savages! Today we’d like to give you an inside look at how we’re committed to continually improving your experience at Savage Race.
You already know we have the best obstacles, and that our race is the perfect distance. But did you know that we have an internal focus on always making Savage Race better?
We work hard to connect with you, our growing Savage community, and then put on an amazing event that you just can’t stop talking about. Then, we review a number of metrics to measure the success of each event. We consider what worked well and what we could do better next time. After that we make adjustments (sometimes big ones!) and repeat the process.
The end result is a better Savage experience each time you come out to one of our events, and we’re darned proud of that.

No, Savage Race is about so much more than that.
What makes Savage Race so great is YOU and your support of one another before, during, and after the race.

Savage Race Supports Downtown CREDO’s Get Fit Weeks with Orlando Boys & Girls Clubs
It was a hot summer day in the Parramore neighborhood of Orlando when a group of about 30 school-age kids gathered in a grassy field outside of the John H. Jackson Community Center. They were excitedly waiting for the opportunity to race one another through the mini obstacle course set up on the field.
At the blow of the whistle, two boys tore away from the starting line and then leapt over and crawled under a series of wooden barricades. Then they climbed up and over a stack of hay bales, navigated their way across an agility ladder, carried a large log across the field together, and then dove into a mud pit set up on a bright blue tarp. Finally, they raced back to the starting point and took turns climbing a slippery rope. Their trainer called “time” and then sent another team through the course.
