HIGH5 has become the official sports nutrition partner to the Obstacle Course Racing Championship held at Pippingford Park Manor in East Sussex this November. HIGH5 will be providing the pre- and on-course nutrition. Participants at the UK championship will also be able to recuperate at the HIGH5 recovery station after the finish.
Justine Ridgway, OCR Championship Race Director for OCRA UK said “We are delighted to confirm HIGH5 as our official sports nutrition partner. We are especially proud that UK athletes will have their nutrition supplied by a British company with a rich heritage in elite sporting performance.”
The OCR Championship is the culmination of a series of qualification events held all over the UK. Covering 16 kilometres, the course will be laid out over some of the toughest terrain Britain has to offer. The course will feature 50 obstacles, featuring natural and demanding terrain to test the competitors.
Wendy Lee, General Manager at HIGH5 said “Obstacle course racing has been the fastest growing sport in the past few years and we are honoured to have been asked to become part of the OCR Championships race. Our experience with world class athletes from a variety of sports in conjunction with versatile products enables us to provide nutrition which fuels and hydrates and is 100% fit for purpose.”
She added “Nutrition is a fundamental component of any sport and some of the world’s greatest athletes have put their trust in HIGH5 to help them excel in the world’s toughest sporting events.”
The OCR Championships will bring together many of the best athletes in obstacle course racing competing either in their age group category or going for overall glory in Wave 1 which is a direct head to head competition across all ages.
There is also the Journeyman Wave, exclusively reserved for those obstacle course racers who do not wish to compete as intensively. There is no qualification requirement to compete in this wave. Instead, athletes are required to have completed any four obstacle course races in the year leading up to the OCR Championships.
HIGH5 will be in attendance at the OCR Championships and will have a stand sampling and showcasing its product range. After the race, participants can visit the HIGH5 recovery station to kick start their recovery process.
