Well, well, well, look who decided to join the party, you bunch of hill-climbing, wall-scaling, rig-flowin', mud-racing lunatics!

Welcome to the OCR Crew newsletter.

We'll be covering topics like:

From keeping you up to date, Asking Pro's the questions you're too afraid to ask, to shining a spotlight on the unsung heroes of the community.

We're here to make you think, laugh, and maybe even train smarter.

Hey everyone.
I’m cooking up some new things for 2026 🔥

Here’s the plan (so far):

Basically, turning World Championships season into fantasy football… but with more mud and way better athletes.

And of course, the usual goodies that you typically see from me on Instagram will be staying:

And yes… there are a couple more things in the oven that are legitimately exciting.
But I’m not spilling those details just yet.
You’ll hear about it all soon.
2026 is about to feel different around here.
See you on the course,
or on YouTube,
or in the prediction leaderboard crushing me…

Have you guys seen it yet?!?!

Spartan pushed out some details and pictures of this new medal system for 2026.
I’m sure ya’ll have seen the pictures already, but here 2 for a reminder.

The size of this thing changes depending on how many Trifecta’s you’re racking up. But these 2 pictures give you the basic idea.

So.
I wanted to see how everyone was feeling with this news.
And I took a poll.

And the results are in.
Overall, most people are a little nervous on it, choosing the “Need to see in Person”.

I’ve heard comments like, “will the little magnets actually work and stay on it?”, “Do we need to carry all our little pieces around to each race all the time for a cool updated photo of it?”. And some worries on if the correct little pieces and Hex’s will be delivered and available at each race (we’ve seen it before where shirts or medals are missing…)

So it’s totally understandable that most of ya’ll are nervous about it. 😶

We’ll get some fresh perspectives on all this in a couple months when they start dropping at the 2026 races. And I guess we’ll just have to hold our breath until then. 🤞

It’s the Spartan Beast World Championship weekend!

This will be the last Predictions contest of the year.
So try it out!

I’ve made a change, where you can choose top 5 on both Men and Women. Making it all a little more interesting.

No prizes yet… that’ll be next year!
But it’s still worth the bragging rights if you do well. And can be fun to watch how your picks do.

It’s all ready to go. Check out the Predictions Page HERE.

Want a rundown on Athletes going and what we can expect to see from them?!?!
Check out these two Podcasts linked below, to give you an in-depth look.
It sounds like some fresh podcasts on all this will be out in the next day or two ✋

RULES:
All picks need to be in 15minutes prior to the start of the Race.
You are allowed to PICK more than once if you want to update it. But use the SAME NAME, so I know to delete the old one.
