Flavius Challenge OCR
Event summary
The Flavius Challenge OCR is Portugal’s leading urban obstacle course race, celebrating its 7th edition in the historic city of Chaves on September 6–7, 2025. Organized by Wildfun in partnership with the municipality and the Portuguese OCR Federation, it offers two distances — 12km and 3km — across two days.
