Five Star Gift Ideas

For your grandson who loves participating in obstacle course races, here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that will not only support his passion but also show him how much you care about his interests:

1. Obstacle Course Race Gear: Help your grandson prepare for his races by gifting him functional and high-quality gear. Consider items like a durable backpack for race essentials, specialized trail running shoes with good grip, breathable and moisture-wicking clothing, compression socks, and gloves to help with grip strength. These gear items will not only enhance his performance but also ensure his safety during the races.

2. Obstacle Course Race Training Programs: Invest in a reputable obstacle course race (OCR) training program or a subscription to online training resources. These programs can provide him with a structured training plan, tips and techniques, and guidance from experienced OCR athletes. It will allow your grandson to improve his skills, strength, and endurance, helping him perform even better in future races.

3. Personalized Race Bib Display: Displaying race bibs can be a great way for your grandson to reminisce about his achievements. Gift him a personalized race bib display frame or shadow box. You can even include a special message or quote on it. This gift will not only help him organize and showcase his race bibs but also serve as a constant reminder of his hard work and dedication.

4. GoPro or Action Camera: Help your grandson capture and relive his obstacle course race experiences by gifting him a GoPro or any other action camera. These compact cameras are designed to withstand tough conditions and can be easily mounted on helmets, chests, or bikes to capture every thrilling moment of his races. Recording his races will not only allow him to relive the excitement but also analyze and learn from his performance.

5. Inspirational Books or Biographies: Inspire your grandson by gifting him motivational books or biographies of successful athletes. Look for titles that focus on perseverance, overcoming challenges, and achieving success in the face of adversity. Reading about the experiences of other athletes can provide him with valuable insights, mental strength, and motivation to push through obstacles in his own races.

6. Race Registration or Subscription: Surprise your grandson by taking care of his race registration fees for an upcoming race or gifting him a subscription to an obstacle course race series. This gift will not only give him something to look forward to but also provide him with ample opportunities to challenge himself, compete, and achieve new personal bests.

Remember, the key is to show your support and encourage his passion for obstacle course races. By selecting a gift that aligns with his interests, you will help create cherished memories and reinforce the bond between you and your grandson.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
