OCR for Fun · 2018

Obstacle

The writer and Peter finish the short course in nearly three hours after starting in freezing conditions. They enjoy the obstacles but struggle with cold water, queues and icy grips, bypass some unsafe-feeling walls and fail the final monkey bars. They describe learning from a difficult first winter outing.

Complete original 3 March 2018 short-distance participant narrative. The organizer supplied their requested 7+ km entries. They finish but explicitly bypass/fail obstacles; this is not full obstacle completion or a 15 km/Ultra experience. The short course omitted the lake swim, but still had repeated water passages. Historical conditions and the complimentary entry are retained without a numerical rating.

Babsi and Jürgen Pfalz (TLZ Donnerskirchen)

Obstacle

The joint club account describes repeated cold water passages, lake obstacles, sandbag carries and a return through the start-area obstacles. They finish tired and pleased with a wet, demanding opening to their season.

Complete original undated account of the second main Zillingtal Dirtrun. Exact raced day and distance are unstated. Jürgen Pfalz is also named as chairman by today’s Celtic Warrior Competitions imprint, so this account is not counted as independent of the organizer. It remains historical Zillingtal feedback rather than a review of his later Donnerskirchen course. No numerical score is supplied.

Jamie Miles · 2013

Sprint triathlon

Jamie enjoyed returning to triathlon after four summers away and found the race a lot of fun. Talking with other athletes helped her nerves about cold weather. She appreciated the rain staying away and wanted to race again.

Historical August18,2013 Sprint with 400 m swim,14-mile bike and 5 K run. The year is corroborated by dated author replies. Her personal enjoyment and weather recollection do not describe today’s services. The current Classic City registration says the race was canceled after a permit refusal; this is not evidence a 2026 edition occurred.

Chatter / Chatter Gets Fit · 2013

Sprint triathlon

Chatter enjoyed the race, felt in control and gained confidence. Cheering at the run aid station helped. He disliked the long wait for the timed swim start, had to navigate around support kayaks, and found more bike climbs than expected. Wet shoes and pedals complicated his own transitions.

Historical 2013 Sprint account under the former name. Personal passing, pacing and equipment experiences are attributed to the writer rather than generalized. The 2023 revival and subsequent cancellation do not establish unchanged routes or services. No current safety judgment or proof of a held 2026 edition.

Event context · see format details

The runner enjoyed meeting people and the friendly atmosphere, called the hourly-lap challenge more fun than running alone, and appreciated the food. Their later laps felt hard after an easier opening stretch.

Participant's April 24, 2022 training-log account of Cobscook Backyard Ultra, with 28.7 miles self-reported. This does not establish a 50K or 50-mile finish or the same rules and support at later editions. The organizer's current page says the 2026 event was postponed and gives no replacement date.
