City Challenge Obstacle Race obstacle races, mud run, and OCR information, distance, cost, dates, calendar, discounts, obstacles, reviews, and more
We are the fastest growing urban obstacle race series in the country! City Challenge Race transforms vibrant cities with breathtaking skylines into an exciting obstacle course with walls to get over, water jugs to carry, ropes to climb, cargo nets to climb, sand bags to carry, monkey bars and much more. This unique event is designed to get communities active, test your athleticism, fortitude, and get you out of your comfort zone. We inspire everyone to live a fit and healthy lifestyle. City Challenge Race also raises funds and awareness for local charities and breast cancer.
While races like Spartan, Tough Mudder, and Warrior Dash have become extremely popular it occurred to us to have our challengers run through city streets while attempting to conquer challenging obstacles that do not include water, mud, electrocution, or barbed wire. We are the clean obstacle race. Besides who really wants to risk getting electrocuted, suffer cuts by barbed wire, or ruin a great pair of shoes in disgusting dirty mud? And unlike the other guys, we hate to see back-ups on our courses so we limit each wave of runners to 200 racers to avoid overcrowding. Our race will feature energetic, fun, intense, and clean obstacles! Join active residents of vibrant cities and run through city streets with amazing backdrops of the hosting city’s skyline!
The mission of City Challenge is to enable you to have the most exciting day of your life…period. Our event provides the perfect platform for you to have a great time with friends and family, bond with co-workers, and just have an all-around great time at our event! We strike the perfect balance between fun and physicality. Participating in City Challenge Obstacle Race will be the most fun ass-kicking of your life

First City Challenge Race
I am an experienced OCR racer - this was my first City Challenge Race. Overall, it was a good experience, and I’d like to see this series succeed. Pluses: Free and convenient parking. Some really good obstacles (e.g., sandbag/water combo carry; tire flip; Urban Cliffhanger). Not crowded - small waves. Minuses: Volunteers didn’t know the course so couldn’t be helpful to spectators. Given the time of year, the race should have started earlier. No post race party on site.
This race is a scam.
They are planning to cancel certain heats but refuse to refund money for anyone who already signed up. Sleazy. Don't make the same mistake that I did in signing up.
It's non stop fun and well organized!
It's the best urban obstacle course around
Great race series, Greater medals
We love the medals and this race series! Take a Saturday away from the mud, and enjoy the obstacles of this unique addition to the OCR Community!
This race is such a great time and they always have new obstacles! I can't wait for the 22nd!
City Challenge
The event is organized in a way that makes it a great OCR if you want to go for time (open elite wave- no bottlenecking), or just finish casually with a bunch of friends. Always fun and as hard as you want to make it. The process for signing up as an individual or as a team is very seamless, and emails / questions for staff are answered promptly. On race day they have plenty of free refreshments pre and post event (protein shakes, fruit, water, sandwiches, various juices, etc). They go big on swag too. Unique obstacles, friendly event crew, and well organized. A product of sound race direction, strong sponsorship, and community engagement. This is how all races should be organized! Always a good time
This is a great race and very well organized. All the obstacles are manned by volunteers who encourage you and there are usually many giveaways and perks at the end from cool brands. I ran it solo last year but i'm actually looking at entering as a team with some colleagues. Should be fun!
Best Obstacle Course Race!
These races are AMAZING! The races always go smoothly and my family and I always have a great time every time we head out to these races. Definitely worth every penny to be a part of this great event. Well organized and got right to the race without any problems. RECOMMEND to everyone and their families
