Savage Race Down to 3 Events: What It Means, Why It Happened, and What Comes Next.

Savage Race is down to three events this year, and we break down what that likely means for the future of the last major independent OCR brand. I’m joined by longtime Savage fans Bryan Darling and Keith Allen. We get into what we know, what we don’t, and why “attendance being up” can still end with a company cutting from 13 races to 3. We talk about: What Savage actually announced (3 events, refunds, and transfers) Why a big reduction like this usually signals bigger problems Whether obstacle difficulty really drove people away The bigger reality: people move on, races get expensive, life gets busy How you staff and sustain a brand with only a few events per year Why the refund policy matters and what it says about Savage’s leadership How OCR got to this point (Spartan, Tough Mudder, consolidation) Plus a little side talk on dad life and TV Shows.
