MudGear Named Official Sock of the 2016 OCR World Championships

“Water, mud, debris: They can all work against OCR athletes, especially when it comes to their legs and feet,” said OCRWC Sponsorship Director Sandra Sawyer. “Because the comfort of our athletes is of the highest importance, we’re excited that industry leader MudGear will be the official sock sponsor of the 2016 OCR World Championships. MudGear’s high-quality, function-forward compression and trail socks provide unmatched drainage and durability. They’re a virtual fortress for feet and legs against any racing obstacle!”

“OCR brings out the best in people,” said MudGear President Malko Thrasher. “You can see it in the eyes of the first-time racer who crosses the finish line, and it’s in the hearts of the die-hard OCR fanatics who will soon invade the Blue Mountains. The world needs this sport and the OCR community needs this championship. We believe that being a sponsor of the OCRWC is an investment in the future of obstacle racing for all of us. We’re excited to be a part of this year’s championship, and we encourage athletes to join us October 13 for a welcome dinner and everyone to check out our limited-edition OCR World Championships compression sock throughout the race weekend.”
