Strength & Speed

Whether you have been involved in Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) since 2010 or just found the sport this year, you are going to love Mud Run Guide's Ultimate OCR Bucket List.  The book has over 100+ races and formats with over 130 pictures of things you need to add to your list.  Although focused mostly in the USA, it does cover several race series across the world.  The book was written with contributions from over a dozen authors and photographers making it a truly #OCRUnited type project.
