The goal of OCR Everest is threefold:
1. Raise for the charity Infinite Hero Honor Foundation, which provides physical and mental support to veterans.
2. Raise the publicity and awareness for Obstacle Course Racing.
3. A personal challenge.
How are you going to reach the height of Everest?
Evan will multi-lap the normal Tough Mudder venue during normal business hours at Tough Mudder New England on June 4 and 5th. Overnight, he will likely be ascending/descending a smaller portion of the mountain and doing obstacles that have been cleared by the staff to keep things safer.
Where and when is the event?
Can I come and watch?
Yes! Tough Mudder sells spectator passes. This is a normal Tough Mudder event so to access the festival area you will have to buy a spectator pass from Tough Mudder. To pace Evan during normal TM venue hours, you will need to sign up for Tough Mudder New England.

Starting with OCR America back in 2016, Evan Perperis has been putting his body through insane ultra OCR challenges every year in order to fundraise, and see what he is capable of!
This year it was OCR Everest where he ascended the elevation of Mount Everest (29,029 feet) while taking on Tough Mudder obstacles at their New England event in Stratton, VT!
We had him on the call to discuss how the event went, how people can continue to help with the fundraiser, more information about his new book, and much more!
Be sure to donate, check out his books, and also keep an eye on what he is doing with the Battle of the Lions Pro Team!
