Best run around

Event Name: 2022 Highlander Assault 

I love this run. I've only missed one since they started. The run gets better every year! Great mixture of water obstacles, strength obstacles, ACTUAL MUD! Awesome run! Great team that puts it on as well. I ran the race Saturday morning and signed up for Dark Ages and the 2023 Assault that evening. Keep it up guys!


Great challenge!

Event Name: Highlander Assault 4 mile OCR 

Definitely the hardest thing I've ever done physically! Tough terrain, lots of mud, freezing water, and obstacles I never thought I could accomplish. Every drop of sweat was well worth it when I crossed the finish.

A big thank you to the Highlander team for putting this on. The staff working the race were fun, informative, and crazy entertaining without a doubt!

Our group is already planning for the Dark Ages in May!!

Safe to say, I'm hooked on OCRs!


Best challenge ever!

Event Name: Highlander Assault 2022 4 mile challenge 

This event is so different from any other OCR race. You feel a warm welcome with so much support like you would with your own family. The terrain is very challenging in-between obstacles, so it was challenging at all times. I had such a great time on the course, meeting total strangers who helped one another along the way. Even the workers and vendors off of the course were so nice and excited to be there! You cannot go wrong with this one, you won't regret it!


King Arthur - Best one yet.

Event Name: Highlander Assault - King Arthur 

With a new course route and several new obstacles, the Highlander Assault team out did them selves this year. Everything seemed new and improved. This year they had plenty of friendly volunteers (thanks to all of them), water stops were placed just right and the new obstacles were awesome. Drove home from the race loudly talking about it all with my team. If you've not done this LOCAL race before, you need to!!

Event Name: Highlander Assault 2022 OCR 8 Miler, HOLIDAY HILLS 

This is only my 3rd OCR ever but they just keep getting better and better. Although this I was my first Highlander Assault I was extremely impressed with how clear everything was marked and how fantastic the 8 mile course was with all the water crossings. Beyond excited for round two. Outstanding rigs within the course along with great company!


Dark Ages

This was my first highlander assault dark ages, and it was awesome! I was able to do two laps. The obstacles were clearly marked, no lines, volunteers were very nice and helpful and it was really cool to do an OCR at night! I can't wait to do it again next year!
