BoldrDash initiated the first leg of its new B-3 Trifecta format with its Winter Dash event at Canonicus Camp in Exeter, Rhode Island. For those of you unfamiliar with this Series, it is one of the longest operating North Eastern based OCR's currently running.
Spartan held its second annual Winter Sprint at Greek Peak ski resort in central New York. The event took place Saturday with the Elites taking the snow at 9 am. The crowds overall for the day seemed smaller than a typical Spartan race.
If you were looking for an opportunity to combine your love of OCR with all things green, massive flame thrower-powered fire pits and a few celebratory beers, you’ll be disappointed if you missed Terrapin Events’ Dirty Leprechaun 5k at Lee Farms, just outside of Portland, OR. A muddy 5K with slick terrain, natural and homemade obstacles and frequent inclines, participants took to the course looking to reach that pot of gold(en delicious beer).
Rugged Maniac launched it's 2018 season as it has in years past in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. This year it landed on St. Patrick’s Day, which made the free beer at the end seem even better and colder. The venue was the same at historic Boone Hall Plantation. The course winds through well-used paths that the plantation uses year round for things like tours and haunted hay rides.
As a mother of two, a personal trainer and a competitive racer, I am fiercely passionate about encouraging the next generation of obstacle course racers. So when an opportunity came up at Phoenix Evolution (an OCR gym located in Chandler, Arizona) to coach 25 kids, ages 5-13, I could not have been more excited.
75 degrees, rolling, sandy, mountainous, desert terrain and a whole lot of Spartans made for one epic weekend at Fort McDowell. This venue did not disappoint.
This past weekend, I raced the SoCal Spartan in Chino, California. Prado Regional Park was a beautiful venue, the weather was great, and everyone was so excited to kick off the U.S. 2018 racing season for the Spartan Series.
Allison Tai shares her experience on at the Spartan Race Ultra Championships that were recently held in Iceland. Charity Fick finds out what it took for this elite athlete to finish 3rd in the race this year.
The XX RACE is an indoor obstacle course race at the iMETTLE gym in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. The entrance can be a bit hard to find as it is around the end of the warehouse that it shares with a Le Bus Bakery. The logo on the door was easy to see as you drive by though letting you know you had found the right place.
Illinois has always been a fantastic place to introduce the newness and the amazing. Illinois is where the first baseball game was played, the first Twinkie was created, it is where Honest Abe launched his political career, and now it is also the location for the first annual Highlander Assault obstacle race.
