We were planning to both run the FIT Challenge's trail race but when we found out that Jason Dupree was flying up to do a race video of the Citi Field Spartan for The OCR Report, Mike knew that he couldn't miss out on that!

This was our 4th time covering the Spartan at Citi Field (2018, 2019, 2024) and it is a special venue for us because it is where we first started the live coverage aspect of the show!

We got some start line audio, talked to Justin T Manning, interviewed a couple vendors, some elites, and a few other athletes at the finish line. Not the most thorough coverage we have done here but it's difficult without Katelyn helping, sleep was an issue and insert other race/interview excuses here!

For more Spartan Citi Field 2026 content, check out The OCR Report's race video and the all obstacles videos will be coming out coming out later next week.
