This isn't your average heavy object carry. Savages lug over a combined 2000 pounds of lumber throughout a race. Depending on the venue, you'll be sloshing through swamps, trudging through mud, or laboring up mountain sides for 1000 feet. Don't forget, badasses grab two! Completion Rate: 80%
A little twist on the classic up and over, this five foot high obstacle will get your heart pumping and your lower body covered in mud.

Sawtooth is one of Savage Race's signature obstacles. You can't miss this blue mammoth with it's unique design.

With 60,000 pounds of ice, Shriveled Richard is no joke. The bone chilling experience will take your breath away as soon as you dive in. It's no time to be timid.

Slippery Incline Wall can be intimidating when you first come up to it on the course. Get a running start on this 16 foot long, 12 foot high incline or else you'll be out of luck getting the conveniently placed rope.

The tastiest obstacle in the game, Thor's Grundle will leave you covered in mud. Who knew a 50 foot trench filled with mud could be so intense. Take a deep breath before you are completely submerged in the muck going under one of the baffles. You'll thank us later! Completion Rate: 90%
We're having a party! Block Party is a heavy cinder block filled with cement that you have to pull up to a designated station on the side of a hill. That's 70 pounds of dead weight you need to start training for.

Teeter Tuber is a modern take on the seesaw, where you must maneuver up an incline through a 24 inch diameter tube, until you reach the pivot point and then ride the tube down and out the other side. This 20 foot tube is a slippery, tight space that will require technique, upper body strength, and a bit of persistence to conquer.
