On my vacation trip to visit relatives and friends in Germany, I decided to take the first stop in England. The reason: I needed to go where the sport that we all love and practice so intensively was BORN and originated. Yes, the –so called- mecca of OCR: Tough Guy® – The Original; taking place on January 29 close to Wolverhampton in England.

After the presents are open and you are full of egg nog and Christmas cookies, it's time to tune into television and watch some of your favorite athletes shine. Obstacle racing enthusiasts around America are being given the ultimate Christmas gift with OCR on two major networks! This year both CBS and NBC are airing their World's Toughest Mudder & Spartan Race World Championship broadcasts on Christmas Day.
An epic endurance race of incredible distances in harsh conditions, although filmed weeks earlier the rest of America is just getting a glimpse of it now.

Hi and welcome to the first of a new monthly segment where I’ll be filling you in on the key news from OCR in the UK. Our own national championship event had been a talking point all year, with qualifiers taking place on a regular basis up and down the country.
It turns out that as innovative and cool as they are, the biggest obstacles are rarely the ones on the course, even at an event like the World's Toughest Mudder. Instead, they're the physical and mental obstacles we bring with us. I am proud that I managed to conquer a few of these myself out there in the desert.
World’s Toughest Mudder (WTM) is the championship event of the Tough Mudder series. It also is one of the rare ultra-obstacle course races (ultra-OCRs) because participants complete as many laps of a 5-mile course in 24 hours with an extra 1.5 hours to complete the lap the participant was on at 24 hours.
