2027 TEAM U.K. OCR Performance & Race Prep Training Days
2027 TEAM U.K. OCR Performance & Race Prep Training Days
Training the U.K.'s best athletes for the races that matter.
For the past 11 years, The P.T Barn has been the U.K.'s hub for training days specifically aimed at members of TEAM U.K.
As the OCR racing calendar continues to evolve, so does our approach.
With lower numbers of athletes heading out to the World Championships, our focus for 2027 will be on preparing U.K. athletes for a wider range of major domestic and international competitions.
Our training will be geared towards athletes competing across:
-
European Championships.
-
U.K. Championships.
-
Spartan Series.
-
Challenge Cup & Tartan Warrior.
-
Local + 3k Events.
-
3 Extra International Events.
⚡ The Extra International Events
One of our key focuses for 2027 will be using three additional international events to give U.K. athletes the opportunity to experience a higher standard of racing.
The aim is simple: put our athletes into challenging competitive environments, expose them to different racing styles and standards, and help them become better, more complete racers.
🌍 International Events Confirmed So Far:
-
Tough Viking | 24th April.
-
Tor's Trophy | 7th August.
-
Third International Event | TBC.
More details on the third event will be announced once confirmed.

The P.T Barn has spent the last 11 years helping Team U.K. athletes prepare for some of the biggest races on the OCR calendar. Our aim for 2027 is to continue building that community while giving athletes the opportunity to train together, compete together and raise the standard of U.K. OCR.

2027 Junior
Race Ready Training Sessions
2027 Junior "Race Ready" Training Sessions!
Unleash your potential at the UK's premier outdoor OCR facility!
After the incredible success of our standalone junior events, we are proud to bring back our dedicated youth workshops for 2027.
We do not believe in holding young athletes back with the fears, limitations, or slower "safe" techniques often seen in adult age groups. In many cases, youth racers can move faster, climb better, and adapt quicker than adults!
That is why we proudly refer to this block as The Advanced Session.
🚨 Please Note:
Under-16s are strictly not permitted to attend the adult race-ready sessions. This dedicated class is their exclusive space to dominate.
🗓️ 2027 Session Dates & Times:
-
Monday 31st May | 13:30 – 16:30.
-
Sunday 25th July | 13:30 – 16:30.
-
⚡ Is This For You?
This high-intensity team training day is explicitly designed for:
-
Youth athletes already active in Obstacle Course Racing who want to become truly "Race Ready."
-
Highly competitive juniors who want to train alongside a team of like-minded peers to push their physical limits.
🏆 What We Cover:
To ensure high-quality, individualised coaching, we are bringing in an extra coach to split the field by ability. Throughout the afternoon, athletes will tackle:
-
Advanced skill breakdowns for obstacles frequently seen at major championship-style events.
-
Targeted strength, conditioning, and agility drills.
-
High-octane team races and full-scale mini race simulations.
Let’s get as many of the team down to the field as possible for an epic afternoon of elite training!
🏆 Location:
The P.T Barn (Between Langdon Hills + Corringham).
