OCR World Championships Announces OCR Gives Back as Charity Partner for 10th Edition Event

 The OCR World Championships (OCRWC) is proud to announce OCR Gives Back as the official charity partner for its highly-anticipated 10th edition event, scheduled to take place in California from October 4th to 6th, 2024.

“We are thrilled to partner with OCR Gives Back for our milestone 10th edition,” said Francesca Chiorando of OCRWC. “OCR Gives Back has supported our event, athletes, and the wider community since day one, and so it makes perfect sense for us to officially support them as our charity partner for our historic tenth edition. Their dedication to making a positive impact mirrors the core values of our event and the impact we wish to have on the community.”

The OCR World Championships is committed to supporting causes that promote health, fitness, and inclusivity. OCR Gives Back will feature as the official charity partner for the Sunday 5k Charity event, to make a lasting impact and inspire positive change both on and off the course.

“We have been part of the OCRWC since day one and have been embraced by athletes on six continents. Over ten years of advocating, giving, and going,” said Steve McCollum of OCR Gives Back. “World Champions and GOATs to Journeyman support the cause of helping orphaned and vulnerable children locally and around the world. We are excited to be able to reach out to more athletes and supporters through OCRWC and change even more children’s lives.”

Francesca started running OCR in 2013, and after devouring all the information she could find on the sport, she began writing about it herself. With OCR quickly gaining traction in the UK where she lives, she launched her own site, Mud Is My Makeup, in 2014.

Since then she has gone on to produce content for publications including OCR Europe, Mud Run Guide, Mudstacle, Obstacle Race Magazine, and Obstacle Mud Runner Magazine, as well as OCRWC.

Francesca loves exploring every aspect of the sport as much as she loves to explore the courses themselves. Very much an average athlete, her goal has always been to encourage the everyday person to get muddy and active and discover how much joy suffering out on a course can bring.

Her first experience of OCRWC was the epic Blue Mountain in 2016, although she’d been following the event from the early days. The whole atmosphere, set up, and experience had her hooked and she knew that this was an organization that she not only wanted to support, but be involved with, and to help bring the spirit of OCRWC to a wider audience.
