Competitor: World's Highest OCR
In September 2021 I was a member of the world record setting team for the highest obstacle course race ever held on Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. The event attracted gold medalists, mountain runners, record setting athletes, ultra-runners and elite OCR athletes from around the world.
Following a summit of Kili, the obstacle event was held in the crater at an altitude over 18,000 feet.

Following the world record, the first annual Altitude OCR World Championships was held. This involved additional and more challenging obstacles, plus two timed runs back down the mountain: a 5K & 13K, beginning with an optional 2K fun run from the crater. Continuing the TMGE standard, I chose to run off the mountain with the full kit weight of 40lbs. that I carried up.
