Tag Archives: BFX

My interest in BFX originated in March of 2015, my plan was to complete BFX in what ended up being BattleFrog’s last Sunday event. However, I ran into a small problem, I was running Elite on Saturday and I encountered which may still be the most difficult course I have ever encountered. It coined the term the Brenna Bars, had Elites having breakdowns on the course, and Hobie Call said the course was harder than the Killington Beast; establishing BeardTM as a premier Race Director. In fact, there were podium finishers who took 7 hours to complete a 10-mile course. I awoke on day two and couldn’t close my hands to pull up my sock and knew I had to call it in.

Endurance racing is not a new thing, but it has finally started getting attention as OCR becomes increasingly popular. When I started OCR 3 years ago, Spartan Ultra Beast was the big daddy race, until I discovered Death Race, WTM, TPK, etc.... This form of racing takes on a whole new meaning to those of us that claim to be an Endurance racer. In OCR, that looks different from just running 100 miles on trails or roads (which is still hella endurance racing), just...different.
