In this special episode, Ian, Alan, and Will take a muddy stroll through the history of obstacle course racing—sharing personal firsts, unforgettable challenges, and the races that shaped the UK OCR scene.
🧠 From zombie chases in Cambridge to hay bale hurdles at Dash of the Titan, the trio relive their earliest OCR experiences.
🏃♂️ They Discuss the Legendary race that was Tough Guy, Alan shares his love with tales of hypothermia, canal crossings, and little concern for Safety., while Ian remembers the long cross-country grind before the chaos began.
🌌 Midlands memories surface with shoutouts to Scorpion Run, Reaper's night races, and the multi-format madness of Mud7. Will and Ian recall the shifting layouts and community vibes that made these events special and things get weird (and wonderful) with stories of rotting meat obstacles and themed zones from Bear Grylls OCR, while the crew looks ahead to future episodes—
🎧 Whether you're an OCR veteran or just love a good story, this episode is packed with grit, nostalgia, and the kind of banter that only comes from shared miles and muddy memories.
