Micky Ely

Micky grew up in the southern part of Maryland spending most of his life dedicated to focusing on a career in baseball. Micky got into OCR racing back in 2018 where he joined and raced in Bonefrog, Maryland to spend time with his brother; having no idea what to expect or what training was required. Over the next two years, he began to build his obstacle proficiency and dedication to running finishing the run the year challenge of 2020 miles during the year.

2021 was a breakout season for Micky setting personal records in all three Spartan distances while finishing two trifectas. During the season, he ran perfect races (NO BURPEES) in all but two events setting his focus on reaching his first podium in 2022 and showing everyone that the big guys can win races!!!
