UPSHIFT ENT. produced the inaugural TRENCH™ MUDDER in 2016 at the Guam International Raceway and kicked the level of OCR’s up a notch, by simultaneously hosting a Crossfit competition, attracting teams from Saipan and Japan, and raising $5,000.00 for Guam Cancer Care and Special Olympics Guam, thus pulling off the most successful OCR to date.

As we evolve into doing more, TRENCH™ MUDDER is now TRENCH™ CHALLENGE and the website has been changed to trenchevents.com

This year we are elevating the sport on Guam to a global level by becoming an affiliate of the OCR World Championships. What this means is that TRENCH™ CHALLENGE is now an official qualifier for the OCRWC and will be listed side by side with the the biggest and baddest Obstacle Course Races in the world.
Events like Spartan Race (USA & International), Warrior Dash (USA & International), World’s Toughest Mudder (Tough Mudder Inc. USA), Mudstacle League (UK), Jeep Warrior Race (South Africa), Gladiator Race (Russia), Nordic Race (Denmark & Sweden), Raw Challenge (Australia), just to name a few. Our local competitors and competitors trying to get a slot in our region will have the chance to go up against the best in the world.

““We are SO excited to welcome TRENCH™ CHALLENGE to the OCRWC Family! We had a daunting amount of submissions and we could not be prouder to have you as one of the few to come on board with us.” - Rachelanne Gladden / OCRWC
