Race Directing, OCR and Endurance Running An interview with Claire Sherling of MMI
05/14/19 • 39 min
Run in Mud recently interviewed Claire Sherling, the race director of the Marion Made Challenge (MMC). The MMC is a 5k race that takes place at beautiful Marion Military Institute, in Marion, Alabama. This course incorporates military and traditional Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) obstacles winding through golf courses, courtyards, woods and trails before finally finishing with the most grueling 1/10 miles that I have ever experienced.
Claire has directed all three 3 MMC events all within about 12 months. Having experienced the last two events, I can attest that they get even more challenging and better after each next event. The last event in March had more competition that ever including international participation, more talented and competitive OCR athletes and now is a North American and World Championships qualification; congratulations for that.
