“Obstacle Course Racing is evolving at an incredible pace and we each have a responsibility to nurture the sport as it grows. Through this initiative, we believe the OCRWC can responsibly contribute to that growth,” said Bijanada.
We shared some information about the OCR World Championships (OCRWC) a couple of weeks ago, and since then there have been so many questions popping up on Facebook groups and MUD Run Guide has also gotten our fair share of emails asking for more details. Brett Stewart sat down for a chat with Adrian Bijanada, the CEO of Adventurey, who as created this event, to get the full scoop - or as much as he could tell me on the record:
What comes to mind when you hear the word “creatine”? Perhaps it’s the image of a juiced-up bodybuilder, slugging down his muscle-max drink? I’ll admit, that was the perception I had before I really delved into some research. Creatine is one seriously misunderstood supplement that deserves a credible explanation.
OCR Freaks, Mud Run Guide, and OCR Gear are all very proud to announce our premiere sponsored athlete, Anthony Matesi. Tony has a wicked resume when it comes to OCR's - especially multiple races in 1-2 days! In the photos above, you'll see his 2nd pass of the treacherous Spartan Race VA Super with a log on his back... and no shoes on his feet! Tony doesn't give up even when his homemade huarache sandals do!
Organizing and starting your own event takes a lot of work - so you'd better be ready. We have some tips and plenty of things to consider if you're looking to step up and put on an event of your own.
99% of Mud Runs & OCR's are designed to accommodate men and women of all ages, size & fitness levels; high school wrestlers are in the same heat as 50 year-old housewives, athletes and fitness models rub elbows with the dorky guy from your IT department and Tiffany from HR. The inclusiveness is sometimes part of what makes these events great, but at the same time there is surely a need to break some accomplished athletes into different waves - say, the "elite" start times and make room for all the normal guys and gals to compete with others on their same level. Sometimes, you can make something really special through the simple math of "addition by subtraction". Yep, I said it - cut the guys out of the equation and you have an even more enjoyable event for women the world over to enjoy. Are these "easy races fit for the girls?" Not necessarily - but they are created specifically for women (usually by women) and are exciting, challenging, and fun events that growing like wildfire in the world of Mud Runs & OCR's!
