Savage Race Named 2015 Florida Company to Watch
Orlando, September 3, 2015 — Savage Race has been named one of the top 50 Florida companies expected to continue to see significant growth over the next several years. Savage Race was selected from more than 500 nominees for Florida Companies to Watch, a statewide program managed by economic development group GrowFL, in association with the Edward Lowe Foundation.
“We’re honored to be named a Company to Watch in Florida,” said Lloyd Parker, COO of Savage Race. “With strong ties to the central Florida area and our largest Savage Race taking place twice a year in Pasco County, it’s great to be recognized here. We continue to innovate and bring the world’s best obstacles to new parts of the country, but Florida will always be home and our participants and spectators here definitely represent what the Savage spirit is all about.”
Beat the Summer Heat & Hydrate!
It’s the end of August and in most parts of the US summer is still in full swing. 95 degrees (feels like 105) with 100% humidity? Yep, that’s us at Savage Race HQ in Orlando, Florida!
Training through the hot summer months can be challenging, but it can also help prepare you to crush your next mud run. The physical and mental endurance required to push through uncomfortable summer conditions will make you stronger on the race course, but it’s also critically important to take care of your body when exercising in hot, humid conditions.

Three Generations of Silverio Family Take the Podium at Savage Race
Joe Silverio, his son Mark, and his granddaughter Delaine all stood atop the podium at Savage Race Ohio, each having placed in their respective age groups.
It was a very proud moment for grandpa Joe. “It is easier for me to place because there are fewer people in my age group,” he says, “but for my son and grandkids to place, they have to battle a lot of good competitors.”
Joe and his sister Maria Beth, son Mark, daughter Kate, son-in-law Ernie, granddaughters Delaine, Lucinda, and Haley, and grandsons Zachary and Ethan all participate in obstacle course races. They are scheduled to compete in about 10 events this year, along with a number of road races. The Silverio family has turned obstacle course racing into a family activity, with Joe leading the way.

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.
