Frequently asked questions
Is War-X an OCRWC qualifier?
As of 2022, War-X obstacle course races are officially a qualifying race for OCR World Championships.
Does War-X use chip timing?
Yes, we will track your every move.
What should I wear for a War-X event?
How should I prepare physically?
War-X events can be physically demanding but you certainly don’t need to be an elite athlete or in the best shape of your life. Determination and mental fortitude is just as, if not more important. #eyeofthetiger
Is this event similar to the mud runs and obstacle course races like Tough Mudder and Spartan?
Yes in the sense that there is running, obstacles and mud to contend with. War-X is very unique in that every race has a specific mission that dictates your interaction with the course and the fact that you are running the race through explosions and gunfire.
Are you only allowed one attempt per obstacle?
You can attempt an obstacle as many times as needed in an attempt to complete it unless otherwise noted on race day.
Do you need 100% obstacle completion in order to qualify for an award?
You only must have 100% obstacle completion in order to be eligible to qualify for any top finisher or age group awards. Otherwise, your incompetence is irrelevant to us.
Can I quit if it’s too much or I just can’t make it through?
Anyone can quit at anything in life. Just know you will certainly be judged and labeled. If you can live with that, we can too.
