OCR European Championships
Wie die DOCRA und die European Obstacle Sports Federation (EOFS) mitteilten, finden die OCR European Championships 2018 in Dänemark.
Die „echten“ OCR European Championships finden vom 29. Juni bis 01. Juli 2018 somit zum dritten Mal statt und es wird wieder einen Short Course, Standard Course und Team Relay sowie einen Open Course für Nicht-Profis geben.
Es bleibt abzuwarten, ob die „andere“ OCR EC 2018 auch noch einmal statt finden wird. 2017 hatte es zwei Wochen vor der von der EOFS und den angeschlossenen OCR Länderverbänden offiziell unterstützten OCR European Championships noch eine weitere Europameisterschaft unter dem Namen „OCR EC“ gegeben, was für einige Turbulenzen und Unmut gesorgt hatte. Bislang ist weder auf der Website noch auf Facebook ein Hinweis zu finden.

Originalmitteilung: Denmark will host the 2018 OCR European Championships!
The Danish Obstacle Course Racing Association (DOCRA) is proud to announce that the third edition of the OCR European Championships will be held in Denmark. The event will take place from June 29th – July 1st 2018, and it will include a Short Course, Standard Course, Team Relay and an Open Course.
DOCRA is co-hosting the event in cooperation with a Danish municipality (yet to be announced) who has great experience in planning and hosting international sporting events and the city’s Sport & Event Department. The event will be supported by The European Obstacle Sports Federation (EOSF).
The combined forces of DOCRA, the municipality and the local governments support, experiences, professional qualifications and close partnership ensures a truly international event, all for the benefit of the 2018 OCR European Championships athletes.
It is a new organising team and the hosting of the event in a new country also represents a fresh start for the OCR European Championships. The hosting of such an event is a big opportunity and it comes with great responsibility. We want to emphasize that the experiences – both the successes and the challenges – of the previous editions will be taken into consideration. In addition, the 2018 Championships will present a number of adjustments and new initiatives including a reviewed Rulebook, time registration and a competition jury.
The venue is settled and will be announced in the near future.
The organising team of the 2018 OCR European Championships is looking forward to welcoming you in Denmark.
