ARE YOU A SAVAGE?

Savage Race is the most badass mud and obstacle race event yet. Our unique courses feature big, rugged obstacles spread out over 4 - 6 treacherous miles. This is one tough race, and we guarantee that it will completely kick your ass. We warn you that this race is not for everyone, and it's definitely not your average family fun run or "mud race". If you're afraid of extreme obstacles, fire, mud, and bruises, DO NOT sign up for Savage Race. But if you're tough, you need to prove it. Are you a Savage? Then prove it at Savage Race.

Don't want to run? Party down at the Savage Celebration with beer, barbeque and awesome music! Entrance is free for spectators!

The Savage Course

We carefully select each venue to ensure that our races occur on the gnarliest terrain available in your region. We won't settle for a boring cow pasture, or just any old piece of land. Nope. Our courses feature plenty of natural features to keep things interesting. Each venue is different, of course, but in all cases you should expect an extreme racing environment!

Adding to the mayhem, we sprinkle 12-15 insane obstacles throughout the already-difficult course. To find out which obstacles you will face, check out our location-specific event course maps. Typical obstacles include fire jumps, barbed wire, mud crawls, climbing walls, cargo nets, and lake swims. Obstacles will vary by location, and you should always be prepared to face a surprise or two along the way.

The Savage Celebration

After defeating the race course, Savages reward themselves with frosty beer, delicious barbeque, and awesome music at the outrageous Savage after party. Savages over the age of 21 will get one free beer included with registration. Make sure to bring cash for purchasing additional beer and food from our top notch vendors. There is no admission fee for family and friends to come party with their Savages, so please encourage them to come watch you on the big day!

Race Waves

Waves start every 30 minutes. Choose your wave during on-line registration. Savages are responsible for remembering their start time. Savages should arrive 1 hour prior to their wave time to allow ample time to warm up and check in.  Please be at the starting line at least 15 minutes prior to the start of your wave.  We will do our best to put you in your selected wave, but in rare cases we may not be able to accomodate your time preference.  If your wave time changes, we will notify you by e-mail or phone.

Timing

Savage Race uses chip timing to record your race time. Race chips and instructions will be given on race day. Results will be available on race day. Official results will be posted online a few days after the event.

Brittany loves snowboarding, eating food, swimming, soccer, volleyball, tennis, running, and getting her ass kicked from a serious training sesh.
