This morning, Mud Run Guide caught wind of a rumor beginning to circulate about the BattleFrog Race Series. The rumor was that for 2016 BattleFrog had canceled the use of timing at their events. We hopped on a call with BattleFrog Headquarters this morning to confirm or deny this rumor.
Bill Brumbach puts his OCR training to the test recently at the Indianapolis Marathon. He tries to answer the question... Does training exclusively for OCR set you up to run well in a marathon? Read his experience and find out.
Most obstacle course racing (OCR) builds have one simple rule...outside the basic safety rules...and that is 'don't play on the obstacles'. Play, of course, can be defined many ways, but short of going to trial over it, they mean trying them out. Mostly because they may not be finished....which can be very embarrassing if you pull down an incomplete obstacle while you're supposed to be putting up barriers somewhere else.
World's Toughest Mudder is only days away now. As most of the community is getting the last minute packages from Amazon, securing their final gear, and prepping their nutrition it is time now to start to look at who might be some of the contenders this year. Now it's time to start making predictions on who some of the athletes to watch will be this year.
On October 17, 2015, the best obstacle racers in the world came together to battle it out in Oregonia, OH, USA at the premiere event in OCR.

This Hack came on the coldest night of my life. It was my first World’s Toughest Mudder (WTM) in 2012. I had no idea what I was getting into except for the little information that former Navy SEAL, Stew Smith, and ultra runner, Jared Busen, could provide on how to prepare for a 24 hour event that would be in and out of water.
