Review for Oscar Mike Foundation, MARENGO, IL, USA
I have ran Spartan Races for years. In doing so I have heard the name Team Oscar Mike around the festival but never knew who they were. This year I volunteered at the start line of the Fayetteville Spartan Honor Series race. At one point It was a hot day and Rick kept coming over to make sure we had water and we got a chance to talk to them. At 10:00 their team came into the starting corral. There was a great group. Many were able and some adaptive. All were one team. Their entrance stuck with me over the next couple hours of volunteering. After our shift my friend and I hung out in the festival grounds. We were able to see Oscar Mike entering the final obstacles on the course and cross the finish line. It gave me chills. Then I saw Rick and another man embrace. I am sure there were words that were spoken in that moment that only those two know. My friend and I were motivated and we decided to run with them the next day and Nikki got us set up with shirts. That is to this day my favorite race I have been to. It was great.
