FIT Challenge is one of those small races in the obstacle course industry that seems to do everything right. It all starts from the ground up. The end result offers participants one of the best obstacle racing experiences at least in New England.
I attended the Brewser 3 (for the third year, of course) which is hosted by one of the local breweries called the Appalachian Brewing Company. Not only is it pretty neat that you can eat and drink plenty after your race, but that the race begins and ends in the parking lot of the brewery/restaurant.
OOFOS is a recovery sandal designed to reduce the impact of each step thus hopefully speeding the recovery process. The foam they use (OOfoam) to make up the sandal reduces impact by 37% compared to traditional running shoe foam. After testing their product for the last couple of months, here is what you need to know about OOFOS.
The famed Adventure Racing company Primal Quest announced it will be hosting the first official Expedition OCR World Championship, sanctioned by World OCR, the Fédération Internationale de Sports d’Obstacles (FISO), formerly the IOSF.

The umbrellas, towels, and toys remained in the parking lots while hundreds of men, women, and children stormed the beach of Ocean City, New Jersey for the annual Memorial Beach Challenge.

It is amazing how far I’ve come personally. I started off just doing a Tough Mudder half 2 years ago. This year I have done a race almost every two weeks the past couple of months. I finally got to try my first Spartan at the Spartan Super outside Austin, Texas. There are lots of things to definitely discuss.
Mud Run Guide has once again partnered with For Those Who Would and the North American Obstacle Course Racing Championships to award the fourth annual For Those Who Would OCR Humanitarian Award. Honoring an individual in the community giving back.
On a cloudy/rainy day, I round the turn on Beach Drive to be welcomed by a beautiful beach dwarfed by Lake Michigan. Today, I am in Muskegon, Michigan for the ForeShore Adventure Run. This was my 2nd year attempting to attack the beach. A day at the beach they said; you'll have fun they said......and that I did.
As we roll into this Memorial Day weekend in the United States the obstacle racing community is abuzz with activity with races happening all around the world every weekend. Our community is all over the world and this week's community members of the week remind us how the obstacle racing community truly is a global family.
Yes. The second coming of Spartan Race Big Bear was given the moniker “Soul Crusher” by the Trailmaster himself, Steve Hammond. I honestly don’t think I could have come up with a more fitting name.
