#DoTheHardSh*t
TWO COURSES
CLAW
8.5-MILE HARDER COURSE
Our Claw race course is coveted by elite athletes and anyone who loves a good challenge. This course features over 8-miles of hills, trails, and obstacle challenges just like our Fang course but includes a 3-mile challenge loop with a brutal hill and technical trail running to give you the ultimate Grit OCR challenge that is guaranteed to test your strength and endurance to the next level!
FANG
5.5-MILE EASIER COURSE
Not everyone is ready for the Claw challenge, so for our Fang race, the course is trimmed to be over 5-miles, removing the 3-mile loop to make the race a little shorter and easier, but still providing a signature Grit OCR experience. Perfect for intermediate and first-timers, but don't worry, you will still need to train to get through all our signature obstacles and trails!
TWO RACE FORMATS
COMPETITIVE
Designed for competitive athletes that race in the spirit of pure sportsmanship, following all the rules and completing every obstacle to compete fairly against their fellow competitors to see who is the best. Competitive waves are split into men’s and women’s waves, chip timed, all obstacles are mandatory. If you fail, you can try again, but you can't cut in front of anyone, skipped obstacles results in disqualification for podium placement. You're only cheating yourself if you do not complete the race fairly. All participants will receive a finisher medal, top 3 male and female finishers will receive a trophy and prizes.
GENERAL
Designed for everyone, open to all over 14-years old to participate. Great for participants that enjoy challenging themselves, weekend warriors, first-time racers, and teams participating as a group, everyone is welcome. General entry participates in the same racecourse and obstacles as the elite competitive race, but going at your pace and abilities. Push yourself as far as you can go, if you are not able to complete an obstacle then can skip it. General entry is chip timed for overall results and age group ranking. All participants will receive a finisher medal and if you finish the race with a weighted ruck you also earn a patch.
WHAT IS GRIT OCR?
Ever heard of Spartan, Tough Mudder, Rugged Maniac, Gladiator, Warrior Dash, Savage, Epic, American Ninja Warrior, or other obstacle course race or mud run experience?
Grit OCR is similar to these races but elevating it to the next level, focusing on core and grip strength, endurance, and agility challenges balanced with trail running while leaving out the gimmicky stuff. No mud or water obstacles (unless we get rain), but you'll still get plenty dirty as you get through the challenges.
The courses are designed to be balanced with obstacles strategically placed between sections of running and hills, to push you out of your comfort zone, test the strength of your body, pushing you to the next level of strength and fitness. We believe that anyone can do Grit OCR, but it won't be easy, you will be challenged, you might even scream at it, hate it at some points, but you will also love it by the time you cross that finish line!
TOUGH TERRAIN
Run through a trail course at East Walker Ranch and Golden Valley Ranch Open Space, taking you up the foothills, on the ridgelines with amazing panoramic views, and into the valleys with obstacles and challenges placed at key locations to take your race experience to the next level. You will love the amazing trails and views!
SIGNATURE OBSTACLES
Running the trail course is difficult on its own, now add in a variety of challenging obstacles that will physically and mentally push you to your limit, testing your strength and endurance. You will overcome each obstacle!
KILLER FESTIVAL
After crossing the finish line and earning your medal, finisher shirt, and patches, take a load off and enjoy the Grit OCR festival with your teammates, friends, and family. Watch participants going through the final course obstacles from the beer garden, and enjoy the best local foods. Be sure to bring your friends as you'll be making awesome memories together!
RACE DETAILS
The Grit OCR Claw and Fang courses are challenging, 95% dirt trails with 5% old paved asphalt, throughout the course, are a wide variety of obstacles that are designed to test the strength of your whole body, pushing you to the next level of strength and fitness. We believe that anyone can do this, but it won't be easy, you will be challenged, you might even scream at it, but you will also love it, and you will have an awesome time. Register now and prepare to challenge yourself!
