Big team? Complicated order? Hundreds of names, sizes, and moving pieces?
That’s our favorite kind of project. 😎
From design to delivery, we help teams, events, and organizations take the chaos out of custom apparel so they can focus on what actually matters.
Huge shoutout to Kevin Thompson and the crew at USAOCR for trusting us with their gear. Go give them a follow at @usaocr 💪

War-X Trilogy is hosting the 2026 USAOCR National Championships!
🗓️ 12K Event: Sat, Jun 27, 2026
🗓️ 3K Event: Sun, Jun 28, 2026
📍 Location: 2054 Orpheus Rd, Centerville, OH 45685
The 12K OCR Competitive and 3K OCR Competitive Individual heats will be qualifiers for the 2027 USAOCR National Team.
The competitive heats will include Elite, Age Group, and Para-Adaptive. Athletes who earn 1st Place in each respective competitive category and event will receive an Auto-Qualifer to the 2027 USAOCR National Team.
🌎 The competition format will use the Three-Band System featured in World Obstacle events:
Each participant starts with three bands and loses one band per obstacle failure.
🟢 Retries allowed for non-hanging obstacles: Participants are allowed to retry non-hanging obstacles (e.g. walls etc.) to avoid losing a band. However, if they ultimately cannot complete the obstacle, a band will be removed.
🚫 No Retries Allowed for Hanging obstacles: Participants are not allowed to retry hanging obstacles (e.g. overhead rigs, etc.) to avoid losing a band. If they ultimately cannot complete the obstacle the first time, a band will be removed.
Finishing Requirements: Complete the race with one of the following:
• All 3 bands intact (no penalty)
• 2 bands and 1 penalty loop
• 1 band and 2 penalty loops.
Penalty Loop: Located just before the finish line.
All Bands Lost: Participants will be marked as “Did Not Complete” (DNC) if all bands are lost.

We saw the debut of the Championship Course in 2025 🤩
Competitors took on the updated 100M layout at World Championships in Gothenburg and set records faster than we could have imagined 🚀
Team USA currently holds both of the overall records! Jaleesa Himka ran a 30.926 and Luke Beckstrand ran a 23.690 🔥
The next time we will see the Championship Course at a major international competition will be at @ocreurochamps in May. Will anyone beat those times? 👀
The 2026 USAOCR National Team | Age Group - 100-Meter & 400-Meter

The two teams are ready to represent the US at the World Obstacle - UIPM OCR World Championships in Limerick, Ireland from Aug 6-9.

How to Lose a Band
The following will be considered a fail and will result in forfeiting a band:
1. Falling off a rig.
2. Grabbing the straps above the grip implement.
3. Using the truss or frame.
Don't be that person. 🚫
A technical official will be at every obstacle to enforce the three-band system, but as OCR athletes, we race with integrity!

@usaocr is partnering with @thisiswarx to host the 2026 USAOCR National Championships!
• Sat, Jun 27 - 12K Course
• Sun, Jun 28 - 3K Course
The three-band system will be implemented for the competitive Elite and AG heats only. Five bands will be given to the competitive Para-Adaptive heat.
Mandatory obstacles such as walls, crawls, and balance will allow multiple attempts until you cannot complete the obstacle, which will forfeit a band.
