Obstacle course racing is no longer just a local or national pursuit—it’s a global movement. OCR Buddy is thrilled to announce our partnership with ARM Race, one of Poland’s premier OCR series. This collaboration opens new doors for American athletes to connect internationally, test themselves against Europe’s best, and experience a race culture built on openness, fairness, and athlete-centered design.
🌍 A Race Built With Athletes in Mind
As Bartosz Zieliński, ARM Race coordinator explains:
“This is a project created with the competitors in mind, but also built with their real involvement, because we actively listen to the voices of those who compete at the highest level and truly understand what they expect from a professional race.”
ARM Race isn’t just another event—it’s a community. Bartosz highlights the unique atmosphere where direct relationships matter:
“There are no barriers here, only openness, conversation, and an approach of ‘you have a question, you know us, you come over and we sort it out,’ which builds trust and a sense of genuinely being part of something bigger.”
💪 Why This Matters for Americans
For U.S. athletes, this partnership means:
- Authentic Competition: ARM Race is designed to let athletes truly test their abilities, honoring the time, money, and sacrifice that goes into preparation.
- Global Connection: Experience a race culture where fairness, professionalism, and athlete involvement are at the core.
- Unique Formats: From short sprints to endurance challenges, ARM Race offers something for every competitor.
🏅 Signature Events
ARM Race has pioneered initiatives like the Team League and ARM Race Teams, fostering collaboration and camaraderie. Their legendary #Selekcja—a 24-hour obstacle race—has now expanded to include 8-hour and 16-hour formats, giving athletes more ways to push their limits.
🇺🇸 Why Americans Should Be Excited

- Combine racing with travel, exploring Poland’s culture and history.

In Bartosz’s words, ARM Race is not just an obstacle race—it’s “a space for true sporting confrontation with the best, where the level, fairness of competition, and professionalism in every detail truly matter.”
OCR Buddy is proud to bring this philosophy to our community. For American athletes, this is your chance to step onto a global stage, test yourself, and celebrate the spirit of obstacle course racing worldwide.
