Karin Forsberg

Toughest coach

Karin is one tough lady and has run all Toughest races, chasing the Elite. She has respectable experience of OCR racing and will give you the tools you need to succeed.

After seeing a friend run a Toughest race, she decided to sign up for our race in Malmö and has been hooked ever since. She prefers weight lifting and other heavy lifting and enjoys swinging in our nunchucks, fast lanes and other obstacles. When she’s not practicing the Flying monkey, which happens to be her favorite, she prefers running up hills.

Karin is a trainer at our Play classes on Sundays.
