Earlier this month, Terrain Racing was the center of the OCR world after three races were postponed to 2017 and their registration system had a glitch in their system. This happened in the wake of BattleFrog Series closing up shop and the industry was still reeling from the announcement. Today, Terrain Racing issued an apology to the OCR Community for the undue stress the postponement caused on many who love OCR. Below is the full statement from Terrain Racing.
Terrain Racing would like to issue an apology to the obstacle racing community for any undue stress caused by the recent changes to our 2016 schedule. This is a community we love and we are proud to be a part of it. Three of our 2016 events (New York City, Houston, and Miami) have been postponed until 2017 due to unforeseen circumstances. While we understand that this may not be convenient, it will serve to provide a much better experience for all registered competitors and participants. As reflected on our
Three of our 2016 events (New York City, Houston, and Miami) have been postponed until 2017 due to unforeseen circumstances. While we understand that this may not be convenient, it will serve to provide a much better experience for all registered competitors and participants. As reflected on our website Houston will now be hosted on February 25th, 2017 and Miami will be hosted on March 11th, 2017. As of right now, our team is coordinating with our New York venue to finalize a date in 2017. We currently have two dates available and are working with the venue to determine the best date possible to ensure the best OCR experience for all competitors and participants. Any participants impacted by these changes will be notified via e-mail and will automatically be transferred to the new dates.
In the wake of an amazing event having to close its doors, we would like to take this opportunity to ensure the OCR community that we have no intentions of following suit. In fact, our 2017 plans only include growth with the acquisition of a second set of obstacles and equipment. This will allow us to reach further into the OCR community and host multiple events in two different locations on the same weekend. We hope to have our entire 2017 schedule finished soon so stay tuned to our website and our social media pages for updates.
Terrain Racing is SHADY. I will never support them ever again. I have attended two of their races, the latter, my child ran and I purchased photos from that race. They took my money but I never received the photos. They have the worst customer service ever. They never respond. If you check out their company on the Better Business Bureau, you will see many many complaints. Mostly from customers paying them money and then they cancel the race and do not offer refunds. Their parent company, Cool Events LLC seems to be full of other charity runs (scams) as well. I have reached out to the founder of Terrain, the owners of Cool Events and a handful of reps with no luck. Don’t give another dime to this scandalous race. Disgraceful to the OCR community.
