Welcome to Obstacle fitness

Hi, I’m Rachele Manning

I’m Rachele and I’m the owner of Obstacle Fitness.  I’ve been running obstacle course races (also known as OCRs) since the early 2000s, when they were more commonly referred to as “Mud Runs”.  The first OCR I did was the Marine Corp Mud Run in San Diego, CA.  I was instantly hooked.​

​Obstacle Fitness combines my love of obstacle courses and getting people moving.  Everything is more fun with an obstacle course, no matter who you are.

Programs for Schools, Camps, Families and Events

From schools and camps to parties and corporate events, we bring the obstacle course to you.

Programs for Schools, Daycares and Preschools

We offer a variety of programs for schools and daycares that keep kids active, engaged and excited to come back.  Whether you’re looking for an early-release day activity or a recurring activity program, we can customize the program to your budget and needs.​

Camp Programs

We love working with camps.  As with our other partners, we work with you to create a custom event that is appropriate for your campers, whether it’s a one-time celebration or as a activity specialist.

Kid and Family Parties

Kid and family parties are what we pivoted to when COVID hit.  We offer birthday party packages tailored for different ages but we also love creating events such as family competitions, neighborhood Olympics and more.​​

Organizational, Networking and Other Adult Events

Obstacle Fitness was launched in July 2019 to bring something different to the company outing.  Since then we’ve continued to evolve our offerings to networking events, company Family Days and women empowerment events.
