Founded in 2003, inov-8 has been delivering the best grip in extreme sporting conditions for over 15 years, working closely with athletes who push their limits in running, CrossFit and obstacle course racing. inov-8’s footwear, which as won multiple awards from the obstacle course racing community, gives racers the world’s stickiest grip and their brand has been synonymous with the sport for more than a decade.
In 2018, the brand became the first in the world to use graphene — the planet’s strongest material — in sports footwear, making their rubber outsoles 50% harder wearing, 50% more elastic and 50% stronger.
Since it’s inception in 2014, the OCR World Championships has served as the premier independent global championships for the sport of obstacle course racing. The 2018 event drew athletes from more than 65 nations and was widely regarded as the most diverse and expansive race in OCR history. Created by Adventurey, the event requires athletes to earn a limited number of spots through a network of qualifying events.
