The Bear Crawl OCR

The Bear Crawl OCR is a locally operated obstacle course event held at a motocross training facility in Morganton, North Carolina, at 5372 Roy McGalliard Ave. The course uses rolling terrain and features a dirt bike track, a creek run, a pond crossing, and various man-made obstacles. The organizer describes the event as designed to replicate obstacles and challenges people face in life and notes the race operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on giving back to the local community.

The event includes multiple course lengths and competition formats, including elite and open divisions, a charity wave, and separate short races for younger or recreational participants. One wave is specified for More Heart Than Scars participants only. Distances offered include:

  • 6 Miles (elite and open divisions)
  • 3 Miles (open and charity waves)
  • 2 Miles (competitive Cub Crawl)
  • 1 Mile (Cub Crawl fun run)

The setting at a motocross training site creates varied footing and elevation rather than a paved course, and the race combines natural features and constructed obstacles over a three- to six-mile range. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
