SQUAMISH, British Columbia – (September 9, 2018) 

The Inaugural Primal Quest Pursuit Race was a dramatic sprint-for-the-line finish (or in this case, paddle then sprint) with 3 of the 4 participating Pursuit teams arriving within minutes of each other.

Soaking wet from non-stop rain during the last 48hrs of the race, each participant crossed the finish with a huge grin, and immediately handed a warm pie and new World OCR, the Fédération Internationale de Sports d’Obstacles (FISO) championship title.

We are excited to announce the winners of this year’s Primal Quest, Pursuit Race World OCR, the Fédération Internationale de Sports d’Obstacles (FISO) champions are:

1st Place

Team Fenix-Multisport – #11

Total Time – 3 days, 20 hours, 45 minutes)

Total Time – 3 days, 21 hours, 11 minutes)

3rd Place
