ONE RUN IS NEVER ENOUGH
Obstacle Course Racing has grown
phenomenally in the past year particularly here
in the UK and has quickly become one of the
fastest growing sports we’ve ever seen.
Our mission is to encourage people to join the
fun and inform our readers in all areas of the
brilliant world of OCR. We aim to provide advice
and guidance on things such as: new products,
nutrition, training, equipment, technology, clothing,
what’s on, competitions, freebies, charities, corporate days
and more. If our readers want to know it, we’ll cover it.
