Leon Kofoed 2026 - OCR CWC Brisbane

In this episode, we catch up with Leon Kofoed after a big few years that’s seen him reach the top of the sport as OCR World Champion and begin shifting his focus beyond full-time racing. We talk about what’s changed, where he’s at now, and how his role in OCR is evolving through coaching and building Get A Grip Training. Looking ahead, we dive into the OCR Community World Championships, who’s showing up, what the racing could look like, and what to watch for across the weekend. Leon will be on-site throughout the weekend, racing, and will also be hosting community events in Brisbane pre event. Plus of course, plenty of OCR chat along the way.

S4 Ep11 - Melissa Linden

In this episode we are joined by Melissa Linden. As well as being a successful ocr and endurance athlete, Melissa has a goal in mind; making ocr more accessible and welcoming for women. In 2023 women made up 31% of the racers, and we don’t believe this is enough. We talk about the issues she and other women have faced, and the easy solutions that could be implemented by race brands to make a more welcoming environment for women.

S4 Ep9 - Lionhearts Fitness

Shell first took on OCR as a bucket list dream, and fell in love at first sight. When her son Luccketta lost his best friend to suicide, she did the only thing she knew how to help him, and got him involved in Spartan Races. This lit something in him, and he realised that if all children had access to this sport, it might help them, and so Lionsheart Fitness was born. Since then they have been serving the community and building the OCR community up with love, safety of being and physical strength, and they've never looked back.
