The Big List of Small OCR's 2025

This is our 4th year publishing this list. Each year it's got more attention than the previous year. Hopefully that means that more and more people are trying local obstacle course races across the USA.

As always, the list is in alphabetical order by State. We provide custom training for obstacle course racing, and we've also partnered with Tackle The Tar to provide training programs for their event on May 27th in Rocky Mount, NC.

OCR Buddy is a free App that you can download that will show you hundreds events in the USA including all the small/local OCRs. You can download the app by clicking these links: Android IOS
