From the Organizer
Come join the New England OCR Expo for the Largest Celebration of Obstacle Course Racing on April 3rd at Ultimate Obstacles! In 2027, we'll be celebrating and honoring the Powerful Women of OCR.
Eat, drink, and mingle with fellow racers, with representatives from your favorite race series and many race/health/fitness-related vendors & sponsors from across New England and beyond! Go home with one of many giveaways, discounts, and raffle prizes from the sponsors & vendors! Every guest (14 +) receives a coupon code for 1 FREE Spartan Race at ANY 2028 US or Canada location - Sprint, Super, or Beast!
The New England OCR Expo is passionate about giving back to our community! In 2027, our charity partner is a girls' youth organization in the community. $5 from every New England OCR Expo ticket will be donated to their incredible mission.
Again, this year, besides the Olympic-style 100M course and DEKA STRONG hosted by Ultimate Obstacles, the New England OCR Expo is excited to offer a FREE 50M hybrid kids course presented by Obstacle Wonderland at Wallkill, NY. Also, new to the 2027 lineup, there will be a 50M hybrid kids course competitive wave for $10 from 11 am - 12 pm. As part of the competitive wave, your child may complete as many runs on the course as time allows to compete for the winner trophy. While the next generation of racers grow their love for the sport, donations will be accepted for WONDERKIDS. And to make the day even more special, a medal, a festive competitive wave trophy for the winner, and incredible kid swag will be awarded while the giveaways last. Bring the whole family to the New England OCR Expo. FAMILY FUN FOR EVERYONE!
Additionally, there will be an athlete roundtable themed "Female Powerhouses of OCR: Influential Females Making Their Mark through Health, Resilience, and Athleticism".
Trophies will be awarded to top female and male athletes, and the NEOCR Expo will crown the Ultimate Champion, measured by results from 100M and DEKA events combined. Watch for the 100M exclusive medal!
Register today! Create priceless memories with the New England OCR Expo family!

From Endurance Grid
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it’s the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer’s event page.
Obstacle course races combine running with walls, rope climbs, carries, and mud — testing strength, grip, endurance, and mental toughness all at once.
No two races feel the same, and it is a truly unique endurance sport.
Mud, obstacles, and miles. Raw fitness meets mental grit in a way no other sport matches.
