The tryouts for our OCR (Obstacle Course Race) team have now been completed, and the bar has been set high! Our students took on the challenges of the course with impressive energy, demonstrating both great strength and endurance.
The Journey Toward Linköping 2026
The students with the fastest times will be given the prestigious task of representing IES Jönköping during The Obstacle Run in Linköping 2026. Competing in OCR requires more than just fast legs; it’s about mental toughness, technique, and the "never give up" attitude. Qualities we see our students display every single day.
World-Class Coaching
The students who secure a spot on the team have something truly special to look forward to. In preparation for the competition, the team will be coached by none other than Meja Wellner, who brings the experience of both gold and bronze medals from the 2025 OCR World Championships.
During an exclusive half-day session, the team will receive:
-
Pro tips on how to tackle specific obstacles.
-
Technique training to maximize efficiency and speed.
-
Inspiration from a world champion up close.
We want to thank everyone who participated in the tryouts for their incredible fighting spirit. Stay tuned!
