Why Write For Us?
Because we love OCR! Work with a dedicated team of full-time obstacle course racing media professionals to craft your voice and stories. For us, Obstacle Racing is more than a hobby it's our full-time job and we want to help you be part of our OCR family.
Writing for Mud Run Guide, contributors are given the opportunity to explore the media side of obstacle course racing and see their stories or series ideas come to life.
