    Another very successful New England OCR Expo!

    480. Spartan Citi Field 2026 with Elites and Vendors!
    Mar 16 2026
    We were planning to both run the FIT Challenge's trail race but when we found out that Jason Dupree was flying up to do a race video of the Citi Field Spartan for The OCR Report, Mike knew that he couldn't miss out on that! This was our 4th time covering the Spartan at Citi Field (2018, 2019, 2024) and it is a special venue for us because it is where we first started the live coverage aspect of the show! We got some start line audio, talked to Justin T Manning, interviewed a couple vendors, some elites, and a few other athletes at the finish line. Not the most thorough coverage we have done here but it's difficult without Katelyn helping, sleep was an issue and insert other race/interview excuses here! For more Spartan Citi Field 2026 content, check out The OCR Report's race video and the all obstacles videos will be coming out coming out later next week. Start – 6:03 – Intro 6:03 – 15:40 – Quick News 15:40 – 16:47 – Content Preface 16:47 – 23:38 - Start Line Audio, Justin Manning, and Vendors (Strides for Service, and Team RWB) 23:38 - 43:00 - Finish Line Interviews (Adam Beach, Kiefer Calisto, Josh Gonzales, Taylor Rae, Kara Vandooijeweert, Melissa Linden, Brianna and Matthew, and Peter George Katsiris) 43:00 - 49:37 - Recap with Jason Dupree 49:37 – End – Outro Next weekend Mike will be doing live coverage at Spartan Citi Field and also hopefully helping Jason Dupree with live coverage! ____ News Stories: New England OCR Expo Spartan is Official Partner of OCRCWC LA Marathon Medals for Reaching 18 Miles DEKA Ultra Buckle WTM Prize Money Catman Finished Goal of Traveling Across Australia on Foot Ice Skating Olympian Interested in OCR or Ninja TM Infinity Buckle FISO was Voted to be Dissolved Mark Duplusis is running the Crescent City Classic 10K for Live Oak Camp FIT Challenge is hosting their final event Atlanta Spartan Results (Saturday) Atlanta Spartan Super (Sunday) Drumming Beer Secret Link Kinky Talk Secret Link Broken Elevator Secret Link Dad Pitch Secret Link Finland Sandstorm Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 68.
