Cannonball Crush 2026

Mud. Walls. Rope climbs. Crawls. Slides. Teamwork. Chaos. Victory.

Kingston’s most intense and entertaining obstacle course race returns this spring as Cannonball Crush, presented by Subaru of Kingston, storms back into Fort Henry with brand-new challenges and over 20 obstacles spread across one of the city’s most iconic historic sites.

This high-energy 5K race transforms Fort Henry into an all-out battleground where participants climb, crawl, jump, sprint, slide, and push their limits through a course inspired by both modern obstacle racing and the Fort’s military history. Whether you’re racing solo, forming a competitive team, or just looking for a fun challenge with friends, Cannonball Crush is designed for all fitness levels and experience backgrounds.

Participants can register in three different heat categories:
• Teen Heats (13–17)
• Adult Heats (18+)
• Open Heats (13+)

Teams require a minimum of four runners, with team rankings based on the average finish times of the top four members. Racers select their official start time during online registration in 15-minute intervals.

The event embraces the spirit of fun just as much as competition. Costumes are encouraged, spectators are welcome free of charge, and participants should fully expect to leave covered in mud, water, and victory stories. Complimentary water and snacks will be available at the finish line, with hydration stations located throughout the course.

For those wanting to make a full day of it, Fort Henry’s regular historic programming opens at noon following the race activities.

Competitive runners can also aim for a wide range of awards and chip-timed results, including overall male, female, non-binary, team, and gym prizes, along with age-category recognitions spanning teen to 60+ divisions.

The race takes place rain or shine and requires advance online registration. Day-of registration will not be available.
