2025 Barber Beast on the Bay

10 miles, 30 obstacles, 1 goal: BEAT THE BEAST!

Tackle insane terrains – from sand to mud to lake to swamp! Combining natural and man-made obstacles, the Barber Beast on the Bay obstacle course has one of the best locations available -- the beach!

Join the 1200+ crazy enough to run, jump, climb and crawl across more than 30 obstacles on the shores of Lake Erie Saturday, September 6, 2025. Whether you are an elite Obstacle Course Race addict or a new to the scene first-timer, the Barber Beast on the Bay offers something for every level of obstacle course competitor.

What sets this obstacle course race even more apart from the rest? When you tackle obstacles during the Beast, you’ll also be helping children and adults with autism, intellectual disabilities and behavioral health challenges at the Barber National Institute who take on their own obstacles on a daily basis, as the event supports the non-profit and its more than 6,200 individuals.
