We all know Mike loves a good small local race so we drove down to the Gaylord Gauntlet to experience and cover it for the first time! This race is 3.3 miles long with mud and over 20 obstacles.
We knew that the venue was a hospital but we had no idea the extent to which the event has benefitted members of the adaptive community for the past 10 years. In the last decade the Gaylord Gauntlet 5k has raised over $800,000 for the Gaylord Sports Association which provides adaptive sports for individuals with physical and visual disabilities, as well as our Military Veterans.
You'll hear from athletes with disabilities (AWDs), guide runners, Tara Knapp the VP of external affairs at Gaylord, and the Race Director Dr. Steve Holland.
We hope to see you there next year!

In the past we interviewed Des Linden when her book "Choosing to Run" and doing so opened up options for future book related interviews!
Gwendolyn Bound's publicist, Brianna Kusilek, reached out to us back in April but it took us a while to find a time to release a potential episode with her. Luckily we made room this week and Katelyn interviewed her for the show!
Katelyn and Gwendolyn talk about changing perspective on life, growing older, overcoming adversity, golden retrievers, and much more. Gwendolyn's book "Not Too Late" is available for pre-order now or in book stores June 18, 2024.
If we want more attention given to the sport that we love, then we need to support books written about the sport we love! Check it out here!

We had yet another MudGear-Hannibal Race Pro Team athlete on the show, Vivien Tran!
We have been keeping an eye on her as an athlete ever since she joined their team and we have not been disappointed. Some accomplishments are winning a Savage Race Axe, a Spartan Race, doing well in the Spartan US National Series, and achieving podium placements at many local events such as Abominable Snow Race, Mythic Race, and this weekend's ASCO Spartacus Dash!
We discussed how she found the sport, thoughts on the rest of the women's field, her experience in the sport so far, what she has planned for the rest of the year, the perks of being on a pro team, and much more!
Follow along with her via Facebook or Instagram!

When Hawk Call started getting into some big Spartan Races a few years ago it got a lot of us who have been in the sport for a long time pretty excited! This is because many of us remember his father Hobie who is almost always in the conversation of who historically is one of the best men in the sport of OCR.
Hawk is his own own athlete though, and I didn't want to have him on the show just to talk about his dad. It didn't take long for him to start to make a name for himself though, and it quickly became more of an issue of having an open weekend for the show and have him on for his own episode.
Following his recent win at the Spartan US National Series Race in Big Bear we realized that we had a couple weeks where we could be flexible with episode content so Mike reached out to schedule an interview!
We discuss what it was like growing up in the sport, his style of training and racinging, his thoughts on the 3K format, how his recent Spartan Big Bear race went, nutrition, his preperation for the upcoming Broken Arrow Skyrace, where his athletic focus is, and much more!

Evan Perperis is no stranger to the show due to his frequent appearances at our favorite OCR event to cover every year (World's Toughest Mudder), as well as our interest in his ultra OCR fundraising efforts over the years!
We discuss his milestone of achieving 100 OCR podiums, which podiums stood out to him the most over the years, how the recent Toughest Mudder East went along with the new changes to the team format, Lebenese food, and what he plans to do in both sport and life moving forward!
Listen to his podcast "Strength and Speed", like and follow the MudGear-Hannibal Race Pro team, check out his books, and follow along with Evan overall!

We have been aware of Noel Medina and his sweat checks for a while now but it was him joining the MudGear-Hannibal Race Pro Team that really got our attention!
There wasn't good timing to have him on the show before now but when we saw that he was traveling to the Ultra House in Durango, CO to train with Anthony Kunkle we figured it was a great opportunity to learn more about him and plans moving forward!
We discuss how he found the sport of OCR, a bit of his life before, his most memorable accomplishments in the sport so far, how it feels to be added to a pro team, why he made the trip to train with Kunkle, and much more!
Follow along with him via Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok!

We were unsure as to what to do for this week's episode until we saw a post in the Southern Spartans Facebook Group about a guy who had just completed 400 Spartan Races!
His name is Tom Maming and I was excited to reach out to have him on the show to hear more about him, his achievement, and what he has planned for the future.
We discuss how he first got into OCR, Pinoy OCR, #eatmorerice, favorite moments in the sport, Buc-ees, favorite venues, and of course his impressive milestone!
Follow along with him via Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok!

Once again, we just had the third New England OCR Expo and it is easily the most involved Mike has been! In 2020 we were just vendors with a table, last year Mike helped with getting athletes to show up and give short talks. This year Mike was on the board, attended biweekly meetings for months, and worked to help get more vendors and sponsors out to the event!
We are splitting up content from this event into two so we can have an easier week next week and Mike can focus on his own race but in this part two you will hear from some athletes, the speeches, and from some of the staff that made this all possible! (see below)
We hope to get registration going for next year's event soon so we hope to see you there in 2025!

Mike finally traveled to New York to participate in and cover Obstacle Wonderland's Boogie Wonderland Event!
Wanting to both support a small northeast race and get some good mileage in, Mike registered for the 6 hour race. He ran 3 laps, interviewed the 3 hour finisher athletes with some midrace brain fog, ran another lap, interviewed the 6 hour finisher athletes while freezing in the windy cold on and off rain, the DJ, Gabe Capobianchi, Asa Coddington, and then recorded a personal recap while driving back to New Jersey!
We highly recommend you check out an Obstacle Wonderland event, the Northeast Ultra OCR Cup put together by Viking OCR, and come to the New England OCR Expo adding the virtual run for an awesome medal!

Back in the day Spartan Stadium races were our favorite to both run and cover as media. We remember seeing a large man in a clown mask doing well at most of the events that we went to. Over more recent years Kevin Gregory/Bubbles the Clowne has grown to be even more of a threat in the hybrid racing scene!
Kevin has also become a friend of the show, as well as Mike's coach for about a year. Mike vowed that his first hybrid fitness race would be at his gym Underdog Fitness in Wallingford, CT! It took a while to get a date to fit in the schedule but Katelyn and Mike took it on despite Mike being pretty nervous (I am not a strong man) and having back issues (likely a weak core), and Katelyn waking up sick on Friday.
You'll hear from David Rundio, Kristine Pavelchak, Robert Landman, Ashley Harten, Lauren Carlson, Melinda Noel, Michael Racine, Greg Viggiano, Katelyn Ritter, ?, Heather Dall'Aste, Elizabeth Almansa, Kelly Sullivan, Taylor Febus, Mike Tubiak, Lisa Wawrzynowski, Kiefer Callisto, Amber Tait, Alexander Golik, Jess Gregory, Zack Tait, and Kevin Gregory!

We haven't done one of these episodes in a while, and we were totally okay with that!
With recent changes in the industry (unfortunately most being negative), we wanted to have an episode where we share our thoughts and feelings on some events that are not with us anymore like Warrior Dash and Rugged Maniac or have extremely unclear futures like Terrain Race and Bonefrog.
The videos referenced were our 2014 Rugged Maniac, 2016 Warrior Dash, 2016 Rugged Maniac, 2017 Warrior Dash, 2017 Rugged Maniac, 2018 Bonefrog, 2019 Terrain Race, and 2019 Rugged Maniac so check one, two, or all of them out!

Paul Lachance recently ran his 200th Spartan Race at the age of 82 this caught The OCR Report's attention for a post which then caught our eye for a potential episode.
We were excited to reach out to him both for the impressive accomplishment, and because he represents a unique age demographic who take on OCR. Older OCR athletes have always been inspirational to us but we haven't had an episode focus on it before.
We discuss how he found obstacle course racing, his family's military background, favorite and least favorite Spartan venues, medical barriers that he has pushed through in his life, how it feels to be embraced by sponsors and the community, how to buy his shirts, plans for the rest of the year and much more!
I really enjoyed talking and laughing with him. Be sure to add him on facebook, follow him on Instagram, and reach out about getting yourself a shirt!

We have been wanting to have Alisa Petrova on the show for a while now with us first reaching out to her back in December 2022 to talk about the Spartan World Championships that year! Her being 9 hours ahead of us made it pretty difficult to plan a good time to record but it was worth recording at 5am our time to finally have her on the show!
Alisa talks about how she wasn't medically allowed to engage in sports at a young age but eventually got into speed walking and later became involved with Hero Race. In more recent years she has continued to prove herself to be a podium threat at many championship events including the Spartan World Championships.
Within the past month she took on a new challenge in the form of an ultra by competing and winning Tough Mudder Infinity in AlUla. We discuss the barriers of fueling, pacing, and dealing with poor race day communications at the event. Also, her experience at the Government Games in Dubai this year!

We discuss how she found the sport, her background with roller derby as well as body building, and all about the Grey Betties which is a team created for 40+ year old women in sport to both create a community and help reduce intimidation at the start line!

Something that we have had on our potential future episode list for a long time is an episode on adaptive athletes in the sport of OCR. Once I started looking, it seemed like Andy Reid was the man to have on the show to talk about it. He is the founder of OCR Adaptive Athletes and has created a community on facebook to suport each other and to reach out to various countries around to world to try and get their events to be more inclusive!
We discuss what it means to be a pioneer in helping pave a better future in this sport, the difference between the term adaptive and para-athlete, visable and invisable barriers for athletes, changes that he would like to see race directors make, and much more!
Be sure to join his Facebook group and see what you can do to help more people enjoy our sport!

She has been mentioned by a couple athletes during interviews and has recently been added to the MudGear-Hannibal Race Pro Team so we were excited to have Sarah Grippi-Snyder on the show!
She is pretty new to the sport but has had a great start in both obstacle course racing as well as hybrid racing. We discuss her life traveling in an RV, how she feels about joining a pro team in the sport, and her business of 3GX Mental Performance Training, and more!

Just like last year, we are splitting all of our interviews into two episodes due to how much audio there is, and how much of a break we deserve for working this hard covering such a large and exciting event!
In this part 2 we have every vendor and speaker who we interviewed on Sunday. These ranged from many small and big vendors and sponsors who were present as well as the head of the Badass Lady Gang Kelly Roberts, ChiRunning founder Danny Dryer, the guys behind Bad Boy Running Podcast, and ultra running athlete John Kelly!
With over 30 interviews in part 2, check the time stamps below to better help you find a more specific interview. Also, go back and check out part 1 to hear our interviews from Saturday!
Thank you to the many people who took the time for the interviews, and to Raccoon Media Group for putting together another excellent Boston Run Show! Looking forward to returning next year and hope to see more of you listeners there as well!
