Every way to run a obstacle course race event
Colorado obstacle and mud runs take place at ski areas, ranches and open space in summer and fall, drawing friends, coworkers and charity teams as well as competitive racers.
5K Mud Run
A 5 kilometer course with mud pits, walls and crawls. Most people run for fun in waves, and timing is optional.
Sprint (short)
A short course, about 3 miles, with around 20 obstacles. Racers start in waves, and finish times rank age groups.
Super (mid)
A mid-length course, about 6 to 8 miles, with more obstacles and climbing. Racers start in waves, and finish times decide winners.
Beast (long)
A long course, often 12 miles or more, with many obstacles and steep terrain. Plan aid stations, a time cutoff and a sweep crew.
Kids Race
A shorter, easier course for kids by age group, often with parents allowed nearby. Keep obstacles low and give every finisher a medal.
Elite / Competitive Heat
The first wave for competitive racers who must finish every obstacle or take a penalty. Fastest times win prizes.
Team Wave
Groups start together and help each other through obstacles. Teams often finish together, and awards can go to largest or fastest team.
Fun Run / Untimed
Open waves with no timing or penalties, so people can skip obstacles. The focus is on fun, costumes and finishing.
Clinic, camp or lessons
Coaches teach how to climb walls, hang from rigs and carry heavy objects. Groups practice obstacles safely before race day.
Social or open play
Casual training runs on an obstacle course or trail with no timing. Groups move together and practice obstacles.

Fun obstacle course race event ideas
Side contests, fundraisers and traditions that people remember as much as the results.
Rope Climb Challenge
Time racers on a single rope climb at one obstacle, with mats and spotters below. Fastest climber wins a prize.
Team Carry Challenge
Teams carry a log or sandbag together through a short section. It builds teamwork and creates great photos.
Buy a Skip Pass
Racers donate for one skip pass on any obstacle. It raises money and helps newcomers feel welcome.
Sponsor an Obstacle
Businesses sponsor each obstacle with a sign and a volunteer cheer team. Racers remember the best stations.
Muddiest Costume Contest
Racers wear costumes that get muddier as they go. Judges pick the best and muddiest looks at the finish line.
Sponsored Mud Pit
A sponsor brands the final mud pit with flags and a photo spot. Every splash photo carries their logo.
Kids Mini Mud Run
Set up a short, safe course for kids with small obstacles and a little mud. Every child gets a medal and a hose down.
Muddy Shoe Wall
Racers can donate their muddy shoes to a wall that gets cleaned and donated. It becomes a photo spot and a tradition.
For organizers
Running a obstacle course race event?
Build registration, tickets, sponsors and results for any of these formats, free to build. You pay 1% per paid order plus card processing, paid to your own Stripe account.
Tip: Set up hose and rinse stations plus a bag check, because muddy racers need a place to clean up and store dry clothes.
