BLACK GOLD BRUTE OBSTACLE COURSE RACE 2026 : Drayton Valley
The event returns to Drayton Valley, Alberta, for its fourth year on July 4, 2026. The course uses a loop format: completing more loops increases total distance and the number of obstacles encountered.
Several heat types are offered with different requirements. The competitive heat requires three loops of 4.33 km each and completion of all obstacles; some failed obstacles carry penalties. Savage and Barbaric levels ask participants to complete over a half or full marathon obstacle course within six hours. Open heats allow up to three loops with no penalties for missed obstacles. A team heat for five-person teams includes team-specific challenges and requires at least one team member to complete every obstacle.
Published registration fees show age-based amounts: CA$30 for ages 5 to 12, CA$40 for ages 13 to 17, and CA$50 for ages 18 and over and for competitive, Savage, and Barbaric levels. Teams receive a discount. Fees are applied at checkout. The listed location is 5737 45 Ave, Drayton Valley, AB, Canada. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
