COLLINGWOOD, ONTARIO, CANADA 19 OCTOBER 2016 \u2013 <\/strong>The Obstacle Course World Championships took place this past week in the Blue Mountain Resort in Canada, from 14th<\/sup> to the 16th<\/sup> October 2016, attracting over 4,000 athletes from 43 countries. Three Jeep Team athletes qualified and were selected for Team South Africa.<\/p>\n

The Obstacle Course World Championships is a single event created to unify, promote and increase participation in the sport of OCR, while celebrating its amazing athletes and community. It was a tough but very rewarding weekend for Jeep Team athletes, Thomas Van Tonder, Jay Jay Deysel and Carina Marx, who participated on a world platform against the best in the world.<\/p>\n

Jeep Team\u2019s Carina Marx and Thomas van Tonder<\/strong> raced in the OCR World Champs Pro Race<\/strong> with 914 male and female athletes from forty-three countries, all converging on to a 15-km long course tackling over forty obstacles with names like Dragon\u2019s Back, Skull Valley, Mini Platinum Rig, Floating Boards, F5 Skyline, Urban Sky, Warped Wall, Wreck Bag Carry, and more.<\/p>\n

This Pro field race had no age groups, with mixed genders racing together – all the world\u2019s best obstacle course racers only competing for the title of World Champion, and some of the biggest cash prizes in the sport.<\/p>\n

Carina Marx<\/strong> performed at world-class level leaving no prisoners, finishing in an outstanding 12th<\/sup> female overall out of 43 women challengers, in a phenomenal time of 2:18:27. The average time taken to complete the Pro Race across male and female racers was 2:53:24.<\/p>\n

South Africa\u2019s top OCR Champion, Thomas Van Tonder<\/strong>, took part in 2 races in the OCR World Champs. His first race, the World Champs Pro race<\/strong>, was as tough as they come against the toughest OCR athletes in the world. Van Tonder gave it everything finishing in a phenomenal 16th place overall out of 169 male participants, in a time of 1:37:40, just 8 minutes behind the overall winner.<\/p>\n

Jon Albon (UK) took the win in the Pro men\u2019s event in a time of 1:24:36, his 3rd<\/sup> OCR World Championship win, and for the women, Canadian\u2019s Lindsay Webster\u2019s took the win, her second OCR World Championship win, in a time of 1:45:45. Both completing the same course, they dominated their races, taking the lead early on and never looking back.<\/p>\n

Jay Jay Deysel<\/strong> took part in the OCR World Championships 3 km race and finished 35th<\/sup> out of 136 participants, in 20:36 in the 18-24 age category. Deysel also completed the 15-km Long course finishing in 43rd<\/sup> place in a time of 1:54:02.<\/p>\n

Said Deysel:<\/em><\/strong> \u201cThis was the most fun I had in a long time. I once again realized how blessed we are to do the things we love. Life is short. Be the best you can be and spread the love.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Marx and Van Tonder also participated in the OCR World Championship Make-a-Wish Open Challenge<\/strong>, which took place on the 16th<\/sup> of October. A 15-km standard-distance challenge to test OCR strength and skills, this course was created for the best in the world to raise funds for the Make-a-Wish\u00ae Foundation.<\/p>\n

No qualification was required for this special charity event allowing all athletes an opportunity to give something back. There were 429 finishers of which 268 were men and 161 were women.<\/p>\n
