The obstacle course race calendar in Kentucky is busiest in April, August, and November, with races most often in Owensboro.

What obstacle course racing is

Obstacle course races (OCR) combine running over varied terrain with a series of physical obstacles — walls, rope climbs, monkey bars, carries, and crawls. Courses range from a 5K with under 20 obstacles up through 10Ks, half-marathons, and beyond, depending on the organizer and race series.

The barrier to entry is lower than it looks. Most events run open heats designed so beginners can finish — with help on the obstacles when they need it, and strangers often boosting each other over the walls.
