Yancy Culp
I have been competing in the sport of obstacle course racing (OCR) and since 2011. I started off like many in the sport by signing up for the local Warrior Dash and was immediately hooked. I jumped into the Spartan circuit and did everything backwards as two of my first three Spartan races were completing the 2012 Ultra Beast and the 2013 Death Race which lasted 72 hours. Since then, I’ve completed four more Ultra Beasts and many Sprints, Supers, & Beasts. I finished in the top 50 in the Spartan elite points standings for 2014 & 2015. I’ve won Joe Decker’s 12 hour “The Suck” twice, I earned the 50+ mile World’s Toughest Mudder Bid in 2014 & 2015. In my three BattleFrog races, I’ve placed 2nd overall, two 1st place and one 2nd place in the Master’s Division. I have appx 35 combined podium finishes in various OCR races across the circuit. I’m a competitive Master’s Track and Field athlete who’s been competing in track, road, and trail racing since my high school and college days when I was a state of Texas medalist in the 1600m and went to the University of North Texas on a Track/Cross Country scholarship. I was also a Powerlifter and Football player in high school. I spent four years in the US Navy where I began to realize my true passion for fitness. After the Navy, I played a year of Semi-Pro Football in the California based PFL. For the past 20 years, my wife Amy and I have partnered in the ownership of sCULPture Nutrition & Fitness. I’ve been providing personal training, coaching fitness boot camps, programming for OCR, running, and hybrid fitness racing athletes, coaching weekly OCR workouts/races, and providing sports performance training for the Cedar Park High School Athletic Program with a focus on Football and Track & Field athletes. In 2015 I launched YancyCamp.com where we provide online coaching to professional, age group/competitive, and open category athletes. In late 2019 I had the amazing opportunity to help launch the sport of Spartan DEKA with a mission to create a globally recognized sport designed for ALL levels. To date almost 3,000 events have taken place globally with our race brands – DEKA STRONG, DEKA MILE, DEKA ATLAS, & DEKA FIT.
