Get ready, Gainesville, FL, for 4.3 mile OCR with 23+ obstacles and the monster 140-foot finishers rig set in Gainesville Fl, only 40 minutes from Jacksonville. Your abilities will be tested as you encounter the massive mud holes and 140-foot-plus finisher rig. SOME COW PATTIES in the fields, light swamps, muddy streams, rolling pine forests, and NEW and exciting obstacles for 2025. This course will challenge even the experienced runners and set new standards of family fun.
I request all first responders, law enforcement, the Department of Corrections, retired and active military personnel, and veterans to meet me at the flagpole at 7:55 and join me personally as we salute the flag for the national anthem.
Packet pickup will open at 7:15 a.m. Athletes will receive their custom OCR OVERLOAD bib and timing strap. This strap must be worn on your ankle throughout the race, but will be turned back in as soon as you cross the finish line. Or run the race Friday night (just no fun rigs till Saturday).
Your feet cannot touch the ground. You can use the trusses during the transition points from one apparatus to the other.
There are no penalties for failing an obstacle. You must have 100% completion with your band. I suggest you take your time at the rigs and complete them. Because you never know, the person in front of you may not have the wristbands.
RULES: Go out, have fun, and enjoy yourself. The volunteers will be out there to help you along the way. Do not worry about failing any obstacles because we are all there to play in the mud and have fun. There are no penalties for failing an obstacle. No Burpees, no penalty labs or anything like that. OCR OVERLOAD aims to get people and families out to enjoy themselves. We have several signature obstacles as well as base obstacles for everyone to try and enjoy.
Race Swag will be available for pickup as you complete the race at the finish line.
There is a nice water hose station ready.
We have a local food vendor company that will be on site. We have a finisher beer and wine for everybody who is over the age of 21. And we have plenty for everyone.
