Tackle the Tar

Get ready to conquer obstacles and splatter through mud for a cause at the annual TACKLE THE TAR Obstacle Course Race! Taking over the Rocky Mount Sports Complex on Saturday, May 18, 2024, this isn’t just any race; it's a thrilling challenge with over 15 obstacles, including a MUD PIT that promises to test your mettle and leave you laughing all the way to the finish line. Kick off the day with our Kid’s 1-mile fun run at 8:45 A.M., and keep the adrenaline pumping until noon. Every step you run, climb, and crawl helps us grant college scholarships to deserving local students—in just four years, participants like you have helped raise over $300,000! Join us, get your hands dirty, and make a difference—plus, score a nifty T-shirt, a medal, a complimentary beer (21+), and a treasure-filled goodie bag. Let’s TACKLE THE TAR together for education and unforgettable fun!
