The Savage Race is a mud and obstacle race similar to the Warrior Dash, Tough Mudder, or the Muddy Buddy. The first race will take place in the Orlando, Florida area on August 27th with an entire event series planned throughout the US. The course will span about 5K at the Revolution Off-Road Experience in Clermont, Florida.
This is not your average 5K, though. You will climb over walls, trudge through mud, up sand hills, run down muddy trails, swim across lakes, and maneuver over cargo nets.
After the race, you will experience the Savage celebration with free beer and BBQ to quench that thirst and hunger you built up while running the course. The best part about this celebration? You don't have to participate in the Savage Race to join in the fun! The celebration will be free for spectators, too!
I had the opportunity to preview run the Savage Race with a bunch of other central Florida YouTubers. We were invited out by the Savage Race managers to put the course to the test.
This mud and obstacle event will be a great addition to the other central Florida race events, including all the Disney marathons, the Muddy Buddy, and the Everest Challenge. Florida was in great need of a mud and obstacle event, similar to the Warrior Dash. The Savage Race meets and exceeds this need.
The event costs $85 per individual racer and $78 per team member in teams of up to 10 people. Each participant in the race will receive one free beer at the celebration, a custom medal, a Savage Race decal, and guaranteed mud in your underwear.
For the winners, you will receive a custom engraved trophy axe to hang on your wall! Trophies will also be awarded to each of the top three finishers in each category. Participants with the best costume will be given a prize and be featured on the website.
The race will go off in several waves every 30 minutes. Your performance will be timed using chips, as most triathletes or marathon runners are accustomed to using. The race course will include 12-15 obstacles, including a surprise obstacle or two. Most obstacles will attempt to use the natural surroundings to their most effective measure.
Currently, the only venue scheduled is the Orlando, Florida event. To stay up to date with the latest locations, sign up for the newsletter on the official website.
