After Evan Perperis interviewed Mike to talk about OCR in the Northeast on Strength and Speed (listen to episode here), Mike pulled an uno reverse and asked Evan to come on our show!

We have heard of some events that take place in the center of the country but to have a much better idea of the state of the sport in that region it takes someone more local to the area.  With Evan living there for the majority of his OCR career, he was the perfect guest to talk about these events.  We discuss 29 different events that are either still being put on today or left an impact in the time that they were still functional!

The events discussed were: Mythic Race, Hazelwood OCR, KC Timber Challenge, The Seige, Muddy Water OCR, Filthy Monkey, Wildwood Aventure Park, Witchita Gladiator Dash, Muddy Hutch, Conquer The Gauntlet, T.H.O.R. Texomas Hellacious Obstacle Race, Gladiator Assault Challenge, Frontline OCR, Midwest OCR, Spartan Race, Warrior Dash, Atlas Race, BattleFrog, Battle Of The Lions, Hammer Race, Big Red Challenge, Dirt Runner, Terrain Race, Green Beret Challenge, Fugitive Run, Battlegrounds (Iowa), Primal Assault, Gorilla Dash, and City Challenge
