A well-run local obstacle race is a great find. A well-run local obstacle race that’s for a good cause is a gem.
emPower Training Systems and The Mighty Mehal Foundation teamed up to bring Lancaster, PA its first ever stadium-style obstacle race. The 3.25-mile course took place in and around Clipper Magazine Stadium, home to the Lancaster Barnstormers. A lot of local “obstacle” races I’ve experienced tend to be more of a glorified mud run than obstacle race. emPowered OCR was a true obstacle race that challenged competitive athletes while ensuring new racers would have a blast. There were even family waves so parents could run the course with their kids instead of watching them run a smaller course from the sidelines. |
Please note these are overall results and do not separate 100% completion from those who gave up their bands! This was done manually at the finish line.
2019 Race photos can be found on the Mighty Mehal Facebook Page!
