Spain is calling 📞
In just three weeks time we will know who all of the OCREC26 champions are 🏆
We can’t wait for a huge action-packed weekend with the obstacle community in Irún. Are you ready?
Don’t forget that this season we’ve made some changes in the teams categories at @ocreurochamps , OCR 400M European Championships & @ocrwc2026ireland 🧑🤝🧑🧑🤝🧑
National Elite teams remain the same. But competitive teams change to become National Age Group Teams.
Since we announced this change, we have listened to feedback and changed the 16-19 category to simply become 16+. The next category is 30+.
The age group is determined by the youngest member of the team.
Are you ready to race? 🤩
In 2025, nations from all over Europe showed up to compete at the first ever 400M OCR European Championships 🇪🇺

“THE OLYMPICS NEEDS THIS”
10 years ago at a Spartan Sprint in Boston, UIPM President Rob Stull OLY wrote this on the wall.
Obstacle will debut as part of the Modern Pentathlon during the next Olympic Games. Modern Pentathlon competition days at #LA28 will take place across July 15-18.
Tickets for #LA28 are already on sale, with further ticket drops planned for future releases. If you would like to access future tickets, sign up to the @la28 mailing list 🎟️ We can’t wait for the World to see even more of our sport 🤩
🚨New for 2026: The 400m officially joins the OCR World Championships!
For the first time ever, the 400m becomes an official World Championship distance…
Fast. Technical. Explosive. Built for pure speed, power and precision - this is where seconds matter, and mistakes cost.
Plus… a national team relay will also feature on the 400m course 👀 Two new races. One global stage.
So, what obstacle do you hope makes an appearance? 👇
