Jakob Bay

"OCR World Championships to me is and represents everything that is obstacle course racing from providing a variety of different courses from the terrain to the unique and massive spectacular obstacles themselves."
Jesse Bruce

"OCRWC is the race I look forward to most all year long! It brings out a high level of competition, the most fun and diverse selection of obstacles of any obstacle race out there, great running courses, and has an incredible event vibe all weekend long."
Lindsay Webster

"There is nothing my family and I look forward to more every year than participating in an OCRWC event! We run the charity event together and it's the best family bonding time ever!"
Charlie McElvy

"The team races bring a one-of-a-kind energy to the weekend that reminds me of racing with my Rice Track & Field team in college. Obviously I’m a little biased since the tough obstacles cater to my strength as a rock climber, but I think they offer a fun and challenging variety."
Nicole Mericle

"Since my first 'accidental' qualification for OCRWC in 2016 I have been hooked! Walking out on to the course in Canada generated feelings I can't describe and it has been the same every year since."
Claire Rosser

"In one of the hardest times in my life, the OCRWC provided the greatest challenge, and the most outstanding friendships I have ever made. The obstacles are real, the experience is, without a doubt, unforgettable. Best days of my life."
