In this special episode, we sit down with Dawn Jolleys from British Obstacle Sports and Giles Chater from Spartan to unpack the mid-season changes to junior racing, 

🔥 Key Highlights:

• Why the changes are happening now — and not at season’s end

• The impact on young athletes and the wider OCR community

• Concerns around training, injury risk, and competitive fairness

• The debate over weights, carries, and age-appropriate standards

• Timing chips, insurance, and what the future of youth OCR might look like

• BOS’s vision for youth development and Spartan’s rationale behind the shift

💬 Plus: Questions submitted by parents, coaches, and community members — answered directly by Spartan and BOS.
