"Beast Challenge and SA OCR partnered up the beginning of this year. We have enjoyed and love how SA OCR have tried to put OCR on the map. Here at The Beast Challenge we want to challenge our Elites and press them to the max of their physical and mental abilities. Our Wild and our Tame, we have taken that “impossible” factor out and focused on the fun factor. With SA OCR and The Beast Challenge we cannot forget the guys who make the sport – those are our average weekend warriors. The people who we want to show that they can do a lot more than they think they can, while having fun. We hope to see SA OCR grow the sport more come 2017, more awareness, more acknowledgement for the age group racers looking to compete, but don’t have the time to be an Elite and more funding for our Team SA OCR Athletes for World’s. Yes it’s a tough task and our sport is still small, but it’s steps that need to be taken for this sport to grow – and it starts with the ego boost of our average weekend warriors."

"SA OCR is a great platform to learn about our sport and has definitely contributed to the growth of OCR in South Africa. I still believe there is a lot of space for improvement but so far Alec has made the right moves and built a great team around himself. I support SA OCR because it has provided me as an athlete some much needed motivation to become a better athlete and eventually reach the top level of this sport. Thanks and keep our sport growing!"
