Organiser's Description
FRONTLINE OCR IS MORE THAN A RACE. IT'S A TRIBUTE. THE FRONTLINE OCR FOUNDATION IS A 501(C)(3) NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION. THIS EVENT WAS CREATED TO HONOR THE GRIT AND SACRIFICE OF MILITARY PERSONNEL, VETERANS, AND FIRST RESPONDERS BY PUTTING PARTICIPANTS THROUGH AN OBSTACLE COURSE THAT MIRRORS THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL BATTLES FACED IN THE LINE OF DUTY.
