OCR Overload

OCR OVERLOAD is an obstacle course race held in Gainesville, Florida, featuring a challenging 4.3-mile course with over 23 obstacles, including a notable 140-foot finisher rig. The terrain includes mud holes, swamps, muddy streams, rolling pine forests, and fields with natural elements like cow patties, designed to test even experienced runners. The event offers multiple divisions such as Elite, Open waves, a 50-yard timed OCR Ninja run, and a 5-mile trail run through wooded areas with water stops.

The race promotes family fun with no penalties for failed obstacles in open waves, and includes amenities like showers, food vendors, and post-race beer and wine for adults. A benefit lap supports a local community member, and volunteers receive discounted entry. Parking is available on-site for a fee. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
