The Bear Crawl OCR (Obstacle Course Race) was created to replicate the obstacles and challenges we face in life. Life is hard, and sometimes doing a crazy obstacle course race or mud run can change our perspective on what's possible in our life. The Bear Crawl OCR is a 501 c3 non-profit organization focused on giving back to our local community.
