MudGear Named Official Sock Sponsor of the 2017 OCR World Championships
“Our world-class athletes compete on the most extreme course during the OCR World Championships, and they need high-performance protective gear that can keep up with their unrivaled intensity and agility,” said OCRWC Sponsorship Director Sandra Sawyer. “This is why we are beyond thrilled that industry innovator MudGear will be the official sock sponsor of the 2017 OCR World Championships for the second year in a row. Their brilliantly designed compression socks provide superb support while keeping feet and legs protected with strategically placed padding — perfect for rope climbs, traverses, and new obstacles at this year’s OCRWC.”
As part of the partnership, limited edition MudGear socks with the OCRWC logo will be available for preorder in the coming weeks.
“I’m a big fan of MudGear socks and MudGear as a company. They not only have top-notch products, but they also faithfully support obstacle course racing and the OCR community, and I love seeing them thrive,” said Brakken Kraker, professional athlete and head coach at LeaderBoardFit.com.
