WE HAVE THE HIGHEST CUSTOMER RATING IN THE INDUSTRY. THERE ARE SIX REASONS:

  3. It's about teamwork and friendship.
  4. Our community matters to us more than anything.

Savage Race Participant Reviews

  • The Best OCR

    ByCreated Brandon S (2024-07-29, 02:35)

    Savage is the best OCR, the best obstacles and course

  • Chicago 2024, better than expected

    ByCreated Matt Chiefari (2024-07-23, 00:21)

    The Chicagoland event held at Richardson Adventure Farm in Spring Grove on Saturday, July 20th was not only my first SavageRace, but it was also my first obstacle race period. And it couldn't have gone better. Expecting there to be some level of chaos and disorganzation, my wife and I arrived a little over 1hr15m before my start time. From the second we reached the entrance to the parking lines to when we left, everything was EXTREMELY coordinated, planned, and organized. From getting parked to checked in and then to the warm/vendor area it was a stress-free breeze! Everything was well marked, including the path out to the spectator area which my wife greatly appreciated, to the course. The obstacles were challenging but not impossible and I enjoyed that it was not a problem that I was there by myself. Race participants and well as all the workers were positive and helpful. Thank you for putting on such a great event. I'm heading over to get signed up for the June 28th 2025 event now!

    I enjoyed this course! There was plenty variety and the same sorts of obstacles were spread out well. I appreciate a few of the female / male sides but would love to see that for a couple of the rigs as well. Or for folks with shorter arm length/smaller hands. The addition of the ruck was a cool variation from other races I've done and just long enough. I loled the 5-7 mile distance. There was just enough mud! I would love more balancing obstacles. One suggestion would be to utilize banded bibs [head/wrist] and timing chips on shoes vs wrists. I saw a lot of bibs torn off shirts after crawls etc. The event page was VERY helpful. All the info needed for race day was all on one page an comprehensive. Well spelled out!

    Love everything about Savage Race. Spartan and Tough Mudder runs are awesome but Savage Race is hands down the best overall.
