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

When Savage Race was born in 2011, we set six rules to define who we are and to set us apart from everyone else. To this day, we design our events with these rules as our guideposts.

  1. Savage Race is incredibly fun.
  2. We always have the best obstacles.
  3. It's about teamwork and friendship.
  4. Our community matters to us more than anything.
  5. We challenge beginners. We challenge experts.
  6. No one expects you to beat all the obstacles. It's normal to fail.

SavagePRO is always the first race heat of the day, starting with a fresh course, at 9:00 am. SavagePRO is for the top 5% of runners, not for casual competitors, or beginners. Learn more

SAVAGE SYNDICATE

Savage Syndicate is a loyalty program designed to reward participants who run in two or more events on the same day or within a single calendar year (this means between January 1 and December 31 of the same year). After you qualify, you can pick up your own Syndicate medal and pins (one for each race) onsite at your qualifying race. Learn more

Want to earn your Syndicate status on the same day? Just signup for the ‘Syndicate Pass’ option when you go to register. This will sign you up for both a Race and a Blitz on the same day and it includes the early start time upgrade!

TEAMS

Savage Race is about teamwork, friendship, and community. It’s also about smiling and having a lot of fun. Make the most out of your Savage experience by completing it with your friends and family. We promise that it is the best that way. Speaking of community, why don’t you join our Savage Syndicate group on Facebook to connect with other runners?

SPECTATORS

Watch your friends or family complete Savage Race with a spectator pass. Spectators have full access to the race course. We provide spectator course maps and recommended spectator viewing routes to help you find your way. Spectator passes are $22 online until the Friday before the event, or $30 onsite (includes all applicable taxes) on race day. All SavageJR entries come with one complimentary spectator pass. Purchase spectator passes here.

SAVAGE RACE X GORUCK

We’ve been friends with the GORUCK team and partners for nearly a decade. We’ve crawled, climbed and jumped on the courses, and crushed beers together at the finish, and we’re proud to finally announce that all Savage Races in 2024 will have an official rucking division and that the GORUCK Mackall, built to endure the rigors of Special Forces Obstacle Courses, is the official footwear.

Learn more about our partnership and shop the GORUCK X Savage Race collection here!

Rucking Division Sponsored by GORUCK
9:30am Saturday

Rucking Division is not a Cadre-led event. In Rucking Division, you simply show up, have fun, and ruck the course with your friends and others from the GORUCK community. Rucking Division finishers earn a special patch in addition to their T-shirt and medal. Rucking Division event completions do count toward Savage Syndicate qualification.
Register Now for Rucking Division

Wait! I don’t know what rucking is. Tell me more about rucking at Savage Race.

Savage Race Participant Reviews

  • Amazing experience!!

    ByCreated Jeremy Jones (2024-06-30, 17:34)

    They were kinda all over the place and there was a lighting delay but it's all good

  • Charlotte 2024 was a blast!

    ByCreated Cory Mannion (2024-06-21, 15:34)

    I enjoy exercising and running but have not done any competitive athletics since high school. I'd certainly never done any sort of organized race or obstacle course, but at 33 years old, I was talked into the Savage Blitz in Charlotte by a group of friends. It was a GREAT decision, my team and I had a blast and I actually managed to place 3rd in my age group! The obstacles are really fun and more of a challenge than I'd expected, and the location was perfect for the event. Everyone we ran with was really just out to have a good time and it made the race that much better. We'll definitely be back next year!

  • Charlotte

    ByCreated Michael mayse (2024-06-17, 23:37)

    I've raced the charlotte venue many times. Every year it brings the fun back into ocr. I will continue to be back year after year

  • Charlotte 2024

    ByCreated Bill (2024-06-17, 01:20)

    It is unfortunate Savage doesn't have the capital to expand their schedule, they could really hurt Spartan feelings. Best OCR out their, hands down.

  • Charlotte 2024 for Amazing!

    ByCreated Marissa H (2024-06-16, 18:55)

    I’ve done a Blitz before but this was my first race with the Savage Team! So challenging, so humbling, but the best feeling after crossing that line! Can’t wait for the next one!

  • Charlotte, Summer, 2024 Let the race begin!

    ByCreated Ella (2024-06-15, 16:58)

    It was so amazing to watch my family and peers participate in this race, I would definitely do this! The only thing I confuse over is the way to follow the spectator route. I ended up 9 courses ahead! But this is such an amazing event for anyone!

  • Zanesfield 2023 was great!

    ByCreated Jake Moench (2024-06-05, 12:41)

    Our group had a blast running the course which was both challenging and fun. We’re returning for the 2024 event!

  • Great course

    ByCreated Brenden (2024-04-06, 22:17)

    This course is amazing. Goes through the woods. Trails and has moments where it’s wide open. It’s both challenging and rewarding.
