West Columbia, TX, USA

The Grit Games, a renowned annual event now officially known as “The Grit Games presented by PWR LIFT,” returns for its 6th edition, providing obstacle course racers and hybrid athletes with the opportunity to showcase their grit and prowess. This year’s roster includes some of the best OCR and hybrid athletes on Earth.

4 brutal workouts over the span of a day that are designed to highlight your strengths and expose your weaknesses.

This not a fun run, this is a competition and the rules matter. We have a high standard and hold every athlete accountable. One of the ways we hold this high standard is that every individual on Sunday has a designated judge that has a thorough understanding of the competition rules and will not hesitate to hold the athletes to them.

Sunday is for the Elites/Pros and is an invite-only competition.

Each event will take roughly 30 minutes and have several waves. For a better idea of what to expect, check out the live coverage provided by The OCR Report in 2021 for the Sunday Pro division.

The 6th annual Grit Games promises to be an unforgettable event, drawing obstacle course racers and hybrid athletes from all around the country to determine the best of the best. With the enhanced event structure, The Grit Games, presented by PWR LIFT, will continue to push the boundaries of obstacle course racing.
