The Ultimate Ram OCR Challenge is an obstacle course race held on June 13, 2026, on the grounds and woods of Riverside High School in Chattaroy, Washington (4120 E Deer Park Milan Road). The event features a wooded course of approximately 4.5 miles with more than 30 obstacles designed to test carries, grip strength, coordination, mental sharpness, and physical strength.

The event offers both competitive and open divisions. The competitive division includes prize money for the top three men and top three women overall and additional age group prizes. Open waves are organized on a first come, first served basis and allow participants to help each other on course. Ages 14 and up are allowed on the main course.

All finishers receive a medal. Custom event shirts are available to finishers for a stated fee of $10. Volunteer roles are available; volunteers receive an event shirt as part of the role.

Registration for the main race opens September 2, 2025 and closes January 1, 2026. A volunteer registration window is also listed separately. Event proceeds benefit Riverside High School Athletics through the Ram Nation Boosters.

The course is located in the backwoods near Spokane and is described as being about 45 minutes from the Spokane Airport. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
