WE'RE BACK!!!
SEPTEMBER 17TH, 2021
COMPETITIVE WAVES, OPEN WAVES, AND FAMILY WAVES!!!
VOLUNTEER AND RUN FOR FREE!
NEW FOR 2021!!! Open waves will go out first with a rolling start beginning at 5pm. Open wave participants may begin at any time between 5:00pm and 8:15pm, but the course will be cleared and all participants will be removed from the course at 8:45pm for the first competitive wave at 9pm. Competitive waves will be seeded by verified 5k times and will go off with 5-10 runners every 5 minutes. Results will not be final until the last waves have run.
So can I do an open wave to check out the course before running the competitive wave?! YES... assuming you register and pay for both.
Can I run multiple laps in the open wave??? YES... are you ready for this? There is NO CHARGE for additional laps.
Will the family wave be the same as the regular open wave? Families will be released during the open wave timeslots and have a choice to shortcut the long running/carry sections of the course. If your kids are older and more athletic and they want to complete the whole race, go for it! If your kiddos can't handle the 3 miles just follow the family wave shortcuts and cut that mileage down to less than 2. Parents, want to run it for yourself then take a 2nd lap with the shortcuts for the kids, AWESOME! Do that.
What if we want to run as a team??? Sign up, show up at the same time, see the starting official and we will get you all out together!
Can I volunteer for a FREE race??? YES!!! Click the button below to email us.

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. |
Results from the 2019 race are listed below. 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!
For more details and info please click the FAQ button!!! Most of your questions should be answered here...
