Obstacle course racing (OCR) is an outdoor endurance sport that combines running with various physical challenges. Participants navigate a course filled with obstacles such as walls to climb, mud pits to crawl through, and ropes to swing across, testing strength, agility, and stamina. Races vary in distance and difficulty, often held in natural terrain. Common events include Spartan Race and Tough Mudder. OCR emphasizes teamwork, personal achievement, and overcoming challenges, making it appealing to athletes of all fitness levels seeking adventure and camaraderie. It's not only a test of physical skill but also mental resilience.
