The Hammer Race is an obstacle course race (OCR) in Southern MN. Ranked as one of the hardest OCR Races in the midwest. It is also considered a "Must do" Race by elite racers nationwide. The Hammer Race is as much of a mental challenge as it is a physical one. You and your Hammer will be tested with 5+ miles of mud, obstacles, and rugged terrain. To participate in the Hammer Race, your Hammer must be a minimum of 8 lbs and be carried throughout the entire course. You must cross the finish line with a Hammer to be considered a finisher, and may even need it to do so.
