Buccaneer Rampage: Newport, Oregon’s First Obstacle Race [Interview]

[youtube id=”as8ZZqFIfwc” width=”600″ height=”350″]

It all started with a muddy mountain biking race. An obstacle race next? Why not.

After a series of successful community events, the Department of Parks and Recreation in coastal Newport, Oregon began mapping out Newport’s first obstacle race, the Buccaneer Rampage. Set to run on August 24th, 2013, the Buccaneer Rampage will undoubtedly be the gnarliest mud/obstacle race on the Oregon coast.

As Peggy mentions in the interview, “IT’S GONNA BE GREAT.”

They’re building their own obstacles, and Liam has promised his racers a few clever surprises on the way.

Oh, and the best pirate costume wins. Sounds like my kind of race!

To those of you Nerve Rush supporters on the west coast – check out buccaneerrampage.com and register for the race. It benefits a great cause!

Liam & Peggy – thanks for your time and look forward to following your success!
