Project Mayhem Racing - Trail & OCR Jam 2026
Welcome to Year 2 of Project Mayhem Racing! This high-energy weekend is built for Trail Runners, Obstacle Racers, Weekend Warriors, and First-Timers looking for something WAY more exciting than your average 5K. This year features 4 unique race experiences across Saturday & Sunday.
Saturday - July 25
The 5K Trail Race
Fast, flowing, and technical. This 5K trail race features 80% single-track trails winding through the woods of Brady’s Run Park, with a start and finish on a downhill. Expect quick turns, hidden shortcuts, and surprises. Includes a fully stocked aid station and a secret “race within the race” challenge. You'll receive a laser-engraved wood medal, finisher beer (21+) or NA drink, and special awards for the top 3.
The 4-Hour Multi-Lap Challenge
Take on the same 5K trail course and complete as many laps as possible within 4 hours. This endurance challenge features an energy drink shot table, lap leader bibs, prize money for top men & women, a fully loaded aid station, and custom engraved wooden finisher medals. This event is built for Grinders, Ultra Runners and anyone who loves pushing limits.
Obstacle Course - Open Run
Fun-first and beginner-friendly. This open run features approximately 8 Highlight Obstacles within a ~2 mile course, run 8 times. Participants will run a short oval loop, return to the main venue area, complete the obstacle station, and repeat. This is the OPEN RUN version: not timed, no strict judging, and you can retry obstacles as much as you want. Perfect for families, groups, and first-time OCR athletes. An Open Wave for the obstacle course is a 2-hour window with start waves at Saturday 10AM, 1PM & Sunday 1PM. You'll receive a laser-engraved wood medal and finisher beer (21+) or NA drink.
Sunday - July 26
Obstacle Course - The Race!
This is the competitive version of the obstacle course, focusing on speed, competition, and podium spots. Athletes compete in Round 1 qualifying heats, with the top ~6-12 Men and Women advancing to Round 2 Finals. Expect head-to-head racing, great crowd energy, prize money, custom awards, and fast-paced spectator action.
