Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) is a sport that has witnessed a huge surge in popularity over the last decade. Attracting competitors of all abilities, OCR events are not only a test of running speed and endurance but also physical and mental strength. Courses vary in length and obstacles range in difficulty, but hills, thrills and a generous serving of mud are guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s our A-Z of obstacle course racing, with contributions from Total Warrior<\/a>, Obstacle Race Magazine<\/a>, 2018 OCR Short Course European Champion Leon Kofoed Andersen<\/a> and top UK OCR racer Becky Rendell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A is for Atmosphere<\/strong><\/p>\n

OCR\u2019s are great for atmosphere; mixing really tough races with music, beer, vibrant event villages and cracking volunteer teams. Many weekend volunteers help on one day in exchange for taking part the other day, so they know what you\u2019re going through, or want to be you! (Total Warrior)<\/em><\/p>\n

B is for Bars<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not your inner-city type wine bars, but the sort you hang onto for dear life just hoping your grip strength holds out until the other end. Monkey bars are a favourite at most races. (Obstacle Race Magazine)<\/em><\/p>\n

C is for Carries<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing quite like taking a log for a walk in the woods! Race directors love to throw in a sandbag carry or two to test racers around the course. (Obstacle Race Magazine)<\/em><\/p>\n

D is for Dirty<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes you are. In places you shouldn\u2019t be. And you will be for days (see photo above). (Total Warrior)<\/em><\/p>\n

E is for Exhilarating<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t already do OCRs, then when was the last time you went full-throttle down a 50ft slip and slide, fully submerged yourself in a swamp or dunked in an ice bath? It\u2019s all the stuff you did, or wanted to do, as kids. (Total Warrior)<\/em><\/p>\n

F is for Fear<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most people will have a fear on the start line. There\u2019s nothing better than crossing the finish line having conquered this fear. (Obstacle Race Magazine)<\/em><\/p>\n

G is for Grip<\/strong><\/p>\n

Essential for your feet and fingers. Hello X-TALON<\/a> footwear (see photo above). Consider gloves too. (Becky Rendell)<\/em><\/p>\n

H is for Hills<\/strong><\/p>\n

All obstacle races should make use of naturals obstacles. Road running races pride themselves on being flat and fast. OCRs are the opposite. If there\u2019s a hill and it\u2019s safe to do so, you\u2019re going up it, and often there will be an obstacle at the top of it! (Total Warrior)<\/em><\/p>\n

I is for Ice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some ice obstacles use up to 10 tonnes of ice per day! If you\u2019re going for a dunk, just beware of the initial shock, and give your legs a few seconds to come back to life on the other side! (Total Warrior)<\/em><\/p>\n

J is for Jelly legs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those hills and all that energy-sapping mud will leave your pins feeling a little wobbly (see photo above). (Becky Rendell)<\/em><\/p>\n

K is for Kid-friendly<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some OCR events offer junior versions, incorporating all the same thrills, just on a more manageable scale. Getting kids out in nature and engaging in their surroundings is a good thing. Starting them young does however mean that they will soon be ready to take down us oldies! (Total Warrior)<\/em><\/p>\n

L is for Low rig<\/strong><\/p>\n

A glorious way to see well-functioning adults crawl around a kid-sized obstacle, trying to levitate horizontally in the air. It\u2019s beautiful. (Leon Kofoed Andersen)<\/em><\/p>\n

M is for Mud<\/strong><\/p>\n

No obstacle race is complete without a generous helping of mud (see photo above). It can make even the grumpiest of racer smile and the simplest of obstacles suddenly seem impossible. (Obstacle Race Magazine)<\/em><\/p>\n

N is for Nunchucks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everyone\u2019s favourite obstacle. Kind of! No idea what this is? Search for videos online. (Becky Rendell)<\/em><\/p>\n

O is for Obsessed<\/strong><\/p>\n

Medals all over the house, muddy social media photos galore, and we pay whatever-the-price for a ticket to do another race! (Leon Kofoed Andersen)<\/em><\/p>\n

P is for Profile picture<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing better than bragging rights \u2013 and good race photography ensures you get this on a Monday morning. The epic fire jump profile picture is a favourite. (Obstacle Race Magazine)<\/em><\/p>\n

Q is for Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t know how to overcome an obstacle and where to begin? The OCR community is super-friendly so don\u2019t be afraid to ask what may seem like a silly question. (Becky Rendell)<\/em><\/p>\n

R is for Rivers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rivers make fantastic natural obstacles and, depending on the levels, offer many options. There will always be shallow options for non-swimmers, so don\u2019t let water obstacles (natural or otherwise) put you off. (Total Warrior)<\/em><\/p>\n

S is for Smile<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss the on-course photographers and your chance to smile while caked in mud (see above photo). Makes for the perfect social media profile picture. (Leon Kofoed Andersen)<\/em><\/p>\n

T is for Tough Guy<\/strong><\/p>\n

The original OCR event, known for its brutally-cold 15km course and the feared \u2018Killing Fields\u2019. When was the last time you signed a \u2018death warrant\u2019 before a race?! (Leon Kofoed Andersen)<\/em><\/p>\n

U is for Undulations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those gruelling ups and downs, often upgraded with a sneaky carry. See H and C. (Becky Rendell)<\/em><\/p>\n

V is for Volunteering<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s just say it as it is. OCR wouldn\u2019t exist without the amazing volunteers. Nothing but love for everyone who volunteers at events. (Leon Kofoed Andersen)<\/em><\/p>\n

W is for Walls<\/strong><\/p>\n

Real 12ft high ones and the ones in your head \u2013 get over them all, and don\u2019t be afraid to ask a fellow racer for a hand (see photo above). (Becky Rendell)<\/em><\/p>\n

X is for X-ray<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep your fingers crossed (and unbroken) that you won\u2019t be needing one of these post-event! (Becky Rendell)<\/em><\/p>\n

Y is for Young (at heart)<\/strong><\/p>\n

OCR keeps you young, fun and fit. (Becky Rendell)<\/em><\/p>\n

Z is for Zip wire<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who doesn\u2019t love to put their feet up at weekends\u2026 and enjoy whizzing through the air before making a splash landing! (Obstacle Race Magazine)<\/em><\/p>\n
