VJ and Mudgear Partnership/Phillipe from BOCRA
First up we talk to Matt from VJ along with Alex from Mudgear to talk all about the all new SpeedRuck.
Then, we dive into an exclusive interview with Phillipe Levy from the Belgian Obstacle Racing Federation (BOCRA), as he candidly shares his experiences. Despite promises of support in resources and funding, he reveals how BOCRA felt abandoned by its parent organization, World Obstacle, led by Ian Adamson.
In this revealing discussion, Phillipe unpacks the challenges faced before, during, and after last year's World Obstacle Championship held in Genk.

Customer Reviews
Best all encompassing OCR Media Podcast
Matt and Dave are great! I'm a big supporter of the sport. Lots of good information on everything obstacle course racing, whether it's obstacles, hybrid, long endurance ultras, etc... Lots of interviews with some of the biggest athletes, operators, trainers, and brands in the sport. Good humor and a light-hearted conversations are enjoyable and entertaining. Dedicated content with 2 sometimes 3 podcasts a week.
Like the OCR talk, hate the potty mouth and blasphemy
Keep your kids away from this one. Matt has a potty mouth and his taking God’s name (like he did on the episode on Tough Mudder in I think Saudi Arabia) in vain is really not ok.
Not an Obstacle Racing Podcast
Little to do with OCR. Mostly unedited ramblings of a man who once did an obstacle race or two and now pays his bills podcasting.
