Operation Obstacle

Operation Obstacle 2025 is a timed 2-mile obstacle course race held at Richland Community College Fitness Center in Decatur, Illinois. Featuring 15-20 obstacles such as carrying and pulling objects, army net crawls, and climbing challenges, the mostly flat course culminates with a fire truck hose down at the finish line. The event raises awareness and funds to combat veteran suicide, supporting Richland Community College's Student Veteran Resource Center. A non-competitive fun run option allows participants to jog or walk the course while skipping obstacles. All finishers receive a challenge coin and goodie bag, with awards for top male and female finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
