  • Favorite OCR pod

    One of the best OCR Podcasts out there. In depth coverage, good hard-hitting interviews (ie Missing prize money with Joe DeSena), and fun to listen to content. 10/10.

  • Great podcast

    I’m new to OCR but listen to a ton of podcasts. Love your show and will keep listening in. My kids already know a few OCR elite racers from your streams on YouTube and cheer them on. Great to be part of this growing community!

Jason Dupree: 2026 OCR Season Preview

They aim to streamline production, implement a 20-series world-wide leaderboard system, and create more obstacle video content and post-race recaps, while continuing to cover World Championships and major events.
Jason Dupree: 2026 OCR Season Preview
Q: Speaking of races on the calendar, how does 2026 look on the live stream schedule?

OCR CWC with Race Director Robert Camilleri
Q: Robert, what is your role with the race this year or next year?
He describes himself as the host event operator in Australia, working with Spartan to bring a major world championship down under and refreshing the OCR World Championship into a more community-focused format.
Spartan Prize Money with Spartan CEO Joe De Sena and DEKA FIT Director Yancy Culp
Q: Is there a plan to pay athletes on the day they place on the podium?
Yes, there is an aggressive internal plan being discussed to pay on podium day in the future, though they must first catch up on past payments and address tax/financing hurdles, with leadership signaling commitment to accelerate payments where possible.
Spartan Prize Money with Spartan CEO Joe De Sena and DEKA FIT Director Yancy Culp
Q: What is the current status and timeline for prize money payments?
Payments have started to go out, with roughly $50k paid this week; the plan is to have about 80% of payments resolved by September 1st and the rest in the following months, acknowledging ongoing challenges but highlighting progress and transparency.
