Ain’t No Obstacle Hard Enough

Andrew Chiu, Secretary General, Malaysia Obstacle Race Sports Association (MORSA)

Ain’t No Obstacle Hard Enough

Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) is a sport that challenges you on all fronts and one that’s pretty popular among those who seek variety in their fitness endeavor. Reality TV shows like Ninja Warrior and Sasuke have increased its visibility to a wider audience, while organisations like Spartan Race and Viper Challenge have elevated OCR’s visibility and participation here. Joining us on the show to unpack the appeal of the sport is Andrew Chiu, the Secretary General of the Malaysia Obstacle Race Sports Association (MORSA). He also shares MORSA’s attempt at creating a more accessible IP called Pahlawan Malaysia for the Malaysian audience, as well as how OCR is different from fitness races, despite being governed under the same association.
