Elite athletes must have 100% obstacle completion to be in the running for any points awarded to the Florida Championship Series in 2026. There is no limit to how many times you can do an obstacle before you choose to give up your band.

The rules of the low rigs.
Your feet cannot touch the ground. You can use the trusses during the transition points from one apparatus to the other.

There are no penalties for failing an obstacle. You must have 100% completion with your band. I suggest you take your time at the rigs and complete them. Because you never know, the person in front of you may not have the wristbands.

    This is a heat setup as a benefit to bring everyone together to take on the course as a group. to show OCR love to a great individual who has done so many great things to help others, including me. A big thank you to the team at Mud run Finder for all the love and support in setting this great event up. Proceeds from this heat go directly to Rick. Letter from Chainsaw I didn't expect this would happen to me, but here I am. As I navigate through the medical system, is realize that health insurance does not cover all expenses. What's this co-pay about!?!?!? I thought I was covered, and now the stress from the financial burden is weighing on me. It is very hard for me to swallow my pride and ask for help. It's embarrassing enough just having cancer. You know I love to give, and I don't just give a little, I give fully and wholeheartedly!!!! From the Ninja competitions I've sponsored, but never boasted about, giving out race entries that I paid for, either by sweat or my own money, to the giveaways where I would pay for entire trips, to outta state events like OCRWC. Beyond that, I am very well known for giving enthusiastic encouragement and giving my time and energy to talk to new faces and to the ones I already know. Now I'm reaching out for your help. Any stress right now in my life is not helpful, and these newfound medical financial burdens are unfortunately causing stress in my life. So I ask you to open your heart and make a small sacrifice and donate to help me in my time of need. With Love, Rick
