The Legend of Obstacle Racing | Hobie Call | Spartan Race

[@ryanennis7584]

"The race is the celebration of all the work you put in." Wise words from the world's best!

[@benjaminrodriguez2918]

I did one Spartan race and my friends and coworkers didn’t hear the end of it for months. This guy is world champ and his coworkers didn’t even know it... truly a humble dude.

[@michaelcoxfitness6089]

I want to teach my kids through action. Literally the same thing you do great story!!

[@garyhart4228]

I never would have thought that someone could work full time, have a family, and train on an elite level. That's an impressive amount of dedication.

[@FortySummers]

Yes..but also shows if you train smart and don't try to rush your progress i can achieve the goals over time =)

[@garyhart4228]

Training smarter, not necessarily harder, has a lot of truth to it.

[@elgato49]

U need a wife who's literally ur better half :)

[@Beard-OF-Courage]

Gary Hart He didn’t put much distance per week in. He had such an extensive background in running that his body had the endurance, so all he had to do was sharpen the strength and skill aspect and he dominated.

[@andypako5089]

Amazing life story Hobie!! 👍👊🏃🏻‍♂️

[@user-sz7dm9kh5l]

Love that he said that his kids should follow their dreams. Not his, not his wife’s, not his friends. But their dreams. What a great dad and role model.

[@patrickharner]

I think I've watched this a dozen times. Very inspirational. There's a lot of wisdom in here, too.

[@zionbluesky]

"The race is just the celebration of hard work." Hobie is one of the most determined and disiplined persons you will ever know. His personality, demeanor, friendliness, and humility are just as strong. We miss him down here in Greater Zion.

[@paulleatham6830]

Who dared to dislike Hobie Call.

[@sygnalfarben7367]

The best OCR video i have seen in a long time.

[@24sbm120]

The race isn't the test. The test is getting up early in the morning and going to work and coming home and working out when you are tired and you don't know to. Looking at 2 meals and saying I will eat this one, because its healthier. That's the work. You show up at the race, that's the just the celebration of all the work you done. The longer you have to go at it, it just means the reward at the end would be that much better. - Hobie Call, Spartan Race World Champion 13:01

[@miggymouse357]

I have met Hobie a couple times. What a down-to-earth & humble guy he is. Cheers!

[@pinoyaesthetics]

Man, I got into tears when things went really well for Hobie.

[@nandspeartree7263]

Oh my gosh, what a humble man, love his story and his commitment. Wonderful family too. I'm so sorry I found OCR a bit late, but I'm hoping to do my first Spartan next year. Better late than never.

[@toddbrown417]

i'm 52 and doing my first race hopefully in May

[@nandspeartree7263]

@@toddbrown417 I wish you all the luck 👍👍

[@ioarciga]

Awesome story, there is nothing else to say. Huge respect for this legend! Aroo!

[@weightvest]

No one will ever be better than Hobie Call. Except maybe one of his children. Go Calls!!

[@charleydavis9041]

You’re right! I Just watched his son take third in Utah, 2021! He’s got so much potential! I can’t wait to see what he does in 2022!

[@marshallmatters69]

Humility is the key to his success

[@gavilaR8DR]

Much respect to that man! Hobie is not only humble but a great inspiration! Great footsteps to follow.

[@OmarAbdulMalikDHEdMPASPACPAPro]

I came back to this video after 2 years. I'm trying for my first Spartan once this darn Covid-19 pandemic has been met, Lord willing (insha'Allah)! I REALLY like Hobbie! He inspired me to start training! He seems like such a good guy; a WONDERFUL family man! I remember he and his wife did a race whilst tethered together!

[@al3xbravo]

"Oh I hate mud." That could have been end of story :-O

[@Daluris]

Such an awesome example that anyone can do anything so long as they believe in themselves, work hard and train hard!

[@manurushs418]

Vous êtes un bon exemple ! Bravo !!! You are a good example !

[@miko_728]

Hats off to a humble legend! This really is an inspiring story!

[@veganincarnate8524]

The race is just the celebration. Well said! 💚🌱💪

[@EdiQ1985]

"Success is a Journey, not a destination"... Cool video :) Hello from Ecuador :)

[@kevinordonez2829]

Legend! That 2013 win in Vermont I was at the starting line and the announcer said look to the left and there's the elite runner Hobie Call winning the elite wave. I remember when was going over that slanted wall then jumping over the fire. Awesome

[@TysonSalesNSM]

AROO! To this legend, an inspiration, i have my second year of spartans starting this weekend and i have a sprint and beast to do so when ever it gets hard he will be on my mind. Spartan up.

[@DaTTYph]

Hes really great, saw him battle with other spartans, his stamina and endurance is unbelievable at 40years. Aroo!

[@odonata9838]

WOW...What an amazing story!!! I am sharing this with my students and every young person I know. Resilience personified. Kudos to Hobie and family. Spartan Race is amazing for giving super-athletes a platform and a voice.

[@stu3232]

What a man. Both a great athlete and a great father/person. Makes me wanna train!

[@ashleyhirschfield6150]

[@dgs299]

Love the shot at 9:40 , when the cameramen surrounded Hobie

[@Malaki727]

Salute to the Legend, all migthy, greatness ever Hobie Call. I will be there to break all your records and make you the past Hobie. I'm watching you

[@OldDannyboy12]

Excellent video

[@cruzfamily361]

Hobie Call is the Michael Jordan of OCR.

[@lddavisjr]

2:13 The true power in this shot is not the fact of how early it is while he's training, but the moment when you notice the path that he has worn in the ground from repeatedly doing bucket carries around the perimeter of his yard.

[@stiopaodo]

There are so many heroes out there... you're mine.

[@KevinHernandez-qz8sb]

The 🐐 of obstacle racing!!!

[@FortySummers]

Good video!

[@jonathanasdell4539]

Just gonna compliment the editing, don't mind me

[@jrivera8678]

I'll be entering my first spartan race this June in Chicago. Been hitting the gym hard for 8 months now. I'm maxing out around 4 miles but looking to double the distance by June. I needed to hear this and still seeking advice.

[@jacknottingham6954]

Kick the bell at the end of the rope climb.... noted 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@stevehowell601]

class act from a great athlete. The NFL could take a few lessons from this guy.

[@Codysooz]

Hobie you da man.

[@joeccriscuola]

Wow! What a story.

[@Laszlo2693]

[@SirAJentz]

Inspirational!

[@ajcics]

Amazing

[@steveinkent9843]

Good man.

[@jvos6778]

hi Hobie! Thanks cor the inspiration. maybe jou have time to look at the following link... 'survivalrun'...a Dutch sport greetings from Holland (Europe)

[@ajconlin8525]

Sadly, he got a hernia and can only do upper body things now.

[@hfc1177]

Inspiring!

[@DaTTYph]

What happened to the reality tv show SpartanX, never seen a season 2 of it?

[@davidcolbert3480]

Don't retire Hobie you have to your 59 years to compete in the Olympics

[@djsep]

Very inspiring. Makes me just want to train even harder so I can be a better version of myself.

[@asymptoticsingularity9281]

pipe dope is dope

[@kniver_]

13:00 to 13:33 really hit me

[@jackryan2135]

Can he beat Albon?

[@benigifford]

They've both beaten eachother. Albon is a true goat of OCR as well. The reason Hobie is the "godfather of OCR" is because he was at the center of the development of the professional/elite athletic side of Spartan in its infancy. He was the first legit athlete to take it seriously and from his dominance was issued the challenge that brought Hunter Mcyntire, Isaiah Vidal, David Magida, Ryan Atkins, and several other of the OG's to Spartan and made up an actual competitive, drama-filled racing circuit.

[@d4rkside_industries]

If you don’t know of Hobie you ain’t really about racing

[@atraillesstaken]

Sorry Hobie, I'm the real Superman! But you are an inspiration, especially since you're a fellow Utahan!
