There has been a great deal of chatter lately about Obstacle Course Racing as an Olympic event. Most recently, Spartan Race founder Joe De Sena attributed his removal of the iconic gladiators from the end of his races to an effort to comply with Olympic restrictions. I suspect this reason probably sounded better than what was actually going on - namely insurance issues, but it got enough people talking about OCR and the Olympics.

BOSTON, May 1, 2014 –Spartan Race, Inc., the world’s leading obstacle racing company, today announced the selection of legendary adventure race icon, Ian Adamson (www.ianadamson.com), to lead the International Obstacle Racing Federation (IORF) (www.ObstacleRacing.org).

The rumors are true. There will be a REAL International Obstacle Race Federation launching soon (Late 2014- Early 2015) One of the biggest and most competitive OCR organizations, Spartan Race, has already signed on. We are looking for intelligent, reliable, hard-working, common-sense driven individuals to join the team. Please apply via the landing page: http://obstacleracing.org/
