OCR Everest 2022
The 7th and Final Ultra-OCR Fundraiser
OCR EVEREST
Strength & Speed owner and pro OCR athlete Evan "Ultra-OCR Man" Perperis is doing one more fundraiser linked to Ultra distance Obstacle Course Racing. Over the last six years with your help we've raised more than $26,000+ for veterans and their kids.
In 2022, we are raising money for Infinite Hero Honor Foundation, Tough Mudder's charity partner. On the weekend of June 4-5, 2022, Evan will run the Tough Mudder course and additional elevation to total the height of Everest, 29,029 feet of ascent.
Join him on the course of Tough Mudder New England at Stratton, Vermont to pace him, donate or watch.

Evan's 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.

Will I be able to keep up if I decide to pace him?
How can I help?
