Twirly Bird
Obstacle:

Wheel World
Obstacle:
Wheel World
The spinning action of each wheel as you attempt this obstacle will test your grip strength and body control. Try to find an even rhythm or else you will end up at the bottom of the pool below. Completion Rate: 55%
Offered At
SQUEEZE PLAY
Obstacle:
SQUEEZE PLAY
What could make crawling through the mud even better? Well, forcing you further into it, of course. That’s exactly what Squeeze Play does as you push your way through several lanes of giant swiveling barrels. Completion Rate: 95%

SAVAGE RIG
Obstacle:
SAVAGE RIG
Beast mode? More like Savage mode! With every setup not quite like the one before, there is no telling what exactly to expect. One thing is for certain, however. You’ll have to give it your all to muscle through this Savage Rig. Completion Rate: 50%
Offered At
POLE CAT
Obstacle:
POLE CAT
This is the ultimate test of core strength as you shimmy your way across parallel bars of different heights. Lose your grip or slip a foot and you’ll pay the price with a solid belly flop into the muddy pool below. Completion Rate: 64%
Offered At
BIG CHEESE
Obstacle:
BIG CHEESE
One glimpse at this obstacle and you’ll know why it’s the Big Cheese. Strategize carefully as the holes are about as random as on a slice of Swiss. Completion Rate: 90%
Offered At
Tree Hugger
Obstacle:
Tree Hugger
It's not the right time to let the sentimental, nature-loving side of you get in the way of that Savage finish line. But if you want to make it across this new obstacle, you'll need to hug these wooden posts like Chuck Norris headlocks a tiger. Completion Rate: 58%
Offered At
Hangarang
Obstacle:
Hangarang
The last thing you want to do is a hang a fang in Hangarang. Do your best to keep your balance on these swinging timbers or else you're facing an unpleasant journey to the muddy waters below. Ropes hang from above to help you. If you're a true Savage (and part freak of nature) you'll make it across without them. Completion Rate: 80%
Offered At
Twin Peaks
Obstacle:
Twin Peaks
What goes up must come down. That is, unless you're tackling Twin Peaks. Propel yourself up the quarter pipe ramp, down the other side and up another. Momentum is key. Lose it and you're starting over from the first ramp. No skateboards allowed. Completion Rate: 55%
Offered At
Mad Ladders
Obstacle:
Mad Ladders
You wanted something, stable? Think again! You better hold on tight because Mad Ladders will take you for a ride. They'll have you bending, spinning, and contorting from one ladder to the next. Completion Rate: 65%
Offered At
Pipe Dreams
Obstacle:
Pipe Dreams
Maneuvering across these poles will really test your grip strength. There is more than one way to complete Pipe Dreams, so pick your style and go for it. Hang on tight, because the steel poles will be swaying back and forth the full 24 feet. Find your rhythm and enjoy the ride. Completion Rate: 54%
Offered At
Nutt Smasher
Obstacle:
Nutt Smasher
Nutt Smasher may look easy, but don't let it fool you. Traversing 40 feet across a 3 inch wooden beam is no simple task. There's a nice cold pool of water waiting for those who can't make it across this beast. There are no hand holds on this one, so make sure you practice your balancing act before race day. Completing Nutt Smasher will leave you feeling pumped! Completion Rate: 65%
Offered At
Teeter Tuber
Obstacle:
Teeter Tuber
Teeter Tuber is a modern take on the seesaw, where you must maneuver up an incline through a 24 inch diameter tube, until you reach the pivot point and then ride the tube down and out the other side. This 20 foot tube is a slippery, tight space that will require technique, upper body strength, and a bit of persistence to conquer.

Lumberjack Lane
Obstacle:
Lumberjack Lane
This isn't your average heavy object carry. Savages lug over a combined 2000 pounds of lumber throughout a race. Depending on the venue, you'll be sloshing through swamps, trudging through mud, or laboring up mountain sides for 1000 feet. Don't forget, badasses grab two! Completion Rate: 80%

Blazed
Obstacle:
Blazed
If you're not careful, Blazed will roast you. Make sure you have your jumping shoes on for this obstacle because you don't want to get burned. This obstacle makes for a great photo, so get your best jump pose ready. Completion Rate: 89%

Me So Thorny
Obstacle:
Me So Thorny
Me So Thorny is the tightest barbed wire crawl you will ever encounter. With barbed wire on top and to the left and right of you, there is very little room for error on this obstacle. Using your upper body strength, you will need to crawl with care. Completion Rate: 77%
Offered At
Back Scratcher
Obstacle:
Back Scratcher
Stamina is the key to completing Back Scratcher. With four alternating 5 foot walls and barbed wire barriers to crawl under, you're going to need all the strength you can muster. Upper body and lower body strength will help you through this obstacle. Completion Rate: 82%
Offered At
The Great Wall
Obstacle:
The Great Wall
It will take 96 inches of determination, grit, and strength to conquer The Great Wall. A running start always helps, but if you prefer a boost from your friends, that works just as well. Get yourself over this obstacle and you're on your way to completing Savage Race.
Completion Rate: 55%

Swamp Ass
Obstacle:
Swamp Ass

Mud N’ Guts
Obstacle:
Mud N’ Guts
The muddiest, nastiest, smelliest, and sometimes friendliest obstacle Savage Race has to offer. Crawl your way under 100 feet of barbed wire caked in the best mud you've ever encountered. Grab a friend, because mud hugs are contagious. Completion Rate: 97%
Offered At
Barn Door

Offered At
Big Ass Cargo Net
Obstacle:
Big Ass Cargo Net
Big Ass Cargo Net is propped up to 20 feet in the air, so don't get tangled in the gnarly mesh. Get ready for a great view at the top of this structure. The hardest part is coming down. Completion Rate: 80%

Mud Walls
Obstacle:
Mud Walls
A little twist on the classic up and over, this five foot high obstacle will get your heart pumping and your lower body covered in mud. From the thick clay in Georgia to the sticky peat in Florida, you're going to battle through this obstacle. Good luck running at your normal pace after this one. Completion Rate: 85%
Offered At
Block Party
Obstacle:
Block Party
We're having a party! Block Party is a heavy cinder block filled with cement that you have to pull up to a designated station on the side of a hill. That's 70 pounds of dead weight you need to start training for. While gasping for air after the 60 foot rope pull and running the block back to it's original position, you won't even notice the minor rope burn on your hands. Completion Rate: 70%
Offered At
Thor’s Grundle
Obstacle:
Thor’s Grundle
The tastiest obstacle in the game, Thor's Grundle will leave you covered in mud. Who knew a 50 foot trench filled with mud could be so intense. Take a deep breath before you are completely submerged in the muck going under one of the baffles. You'll thank us later! Completion Rate: 90%

FAQ
WHY DID YOU CREATE SAVAGE BLITZ?
We created Blitz for people who are interested in a shorter distance obstacle course race. A shorter distance version of Savage Race has been a frequent request from beginners and experienced athletes alike.
WILL SAVAGE BLITZ COUNT TOWARDS SAVAGE SYNDICATE?
Yes. But you must run at least one full distance Savage Race in the same calendar year to qualify for Syndicate.
IF I RUN THE FULL DISTANCE SAVAGE RACE ON SATURDAY AND BLITZ ON SUNDAY, HAVE I EARNED SYNDICATE?
Yes. By running both events in one weekend, you can earn the Savage Syndicate medal and state pins.
WILL BLITZ HAVE ITS OWN CUSTOM FINISHER SHIRTS AND FINISHER MEDALS?
Yes on both accounts.
WILL SAVAGE BLITZ FEATURE ALL OF THE SAVAGE RACE OBSTACLES?
Savage Blitz will feature 15-20 of Savage Race’s premium obstacles (that is at least 5 obstacles per mile on average!) However, Davy Jones’ Locker and any other obstacle with water depth over 6 feet will not be featured.
