482. New England OCR Expo 2026! (Part 1: Vendors)

Another very successful New England OCR Expo! Mike may be a bit biased because he has been on the board of directors for this event for the past few years but we had the chance to talk to many vendors, athletes, and other participants who back up the claim! There are two parts planned for this coverage yet again and this part focuses on the vendors.  We made a switch from previous years and Mike manned our vendor table while Katelyn conducted interviews with almost all of the vendors who came out to the expo! The vendors interviewed in this episode were: Dana Farber Charity Fundraiser, Dana Farber Charity Runner, Oscar Mike, Moon Phoenix Rising, Naticook Challenge, Neighborhood Ninjas, Soldier Solutions, Strength and Speed, Operation Enduring Warrior, Obstacle Running Adventures, Strides for Service, Newbsanity, Berserker Brew, Teddy Bear Crawl Foundation, Dealers of Hope, Athletic Brewing, MMB Performance and Force Fitness, OCR Buddy and Midwest OCR, Obstacle Wonderland, Rush Fitness, Northeast OCR Community, Human Powered Endurance, Lionhearts Fitness! Please check them out, look forward to part 2 of our coverage next week, and plan to come out to the New England OCR Expo next year!
