Prepare to conquer OCR OVERLOAD - April, an exhilarating obstacle course race set to challenge and thrill on Saturday, April 18, 2026, in Gainesville, FL.

The OCR course is a true test of grit, guiding runners through an array of natural and man-made challenges. Expect to navigate massive mud holes, traverse light swamps and muddy streams, and power through rolling pine forests. The course also features "some hills" and promises new and exciting obstacles, culminating in the monumental 140-foot finisher's rig designed to push even the most seasoned athletes. For those seeking a different kind of challenge, the 5-mile trail run/walk offers a less obstructed, yet engaging, experience primarily through wooded terrain.

Packet pickup begins at 7:15 AM, followed by a National Anthem salute at 7:55 AM at the flagpole, setting a spirited tone for the day. Post-race, celebrate your achievements with a hose shower station, a local food vendor offering BBQ, and a finisher beer or wine for participants over 21. Parking is available on-site for a $10 cash fee.
