With the demise of female-only races (Diva Dash, Mudderella, Lozilu, etc.) the limited investment in kids-only mud runs and most of the big events adding a kid's course as an afterthought, the long-term future of OCR seems to be taking a backseat to present profits. Aren't there new ways to reach kids now and start developing the next generation of OCR fanatics?

As the pre-race briefing started on Sunday for the Spartan Race Glen Rose Sprint, the start line was informed that instead of burpees at Olympus, the penalty would be a running lap. No burpees just a penalty running lap. Is this the beginning of a change in the elite racing scene for Spartan or just a one-off test?

The Spartan Race Glenn Rose weekend, the last weekend of October plays host to the Fallen Heroes Memorial Run. This run gives participants a chance to conquer the Spartan course with the efforts helping raise awareness and funds for veterans issues.  The Fallen Heroes Memorial Fund also offers a virtual race package.

Spartan Race announced yesterday a change for all those looking to qualify for the Spartan Race World Championships in 2018.

It has now come to the time that TMHQ has released the first set of rules for WTM 2017!
