Jeep Warrior Season Finale Set To Be Nail-Bitter:
GAUTENG, PRETORIA, NOVEMBER 2016 – This weekend, the Legends MX Adventure Park in the east of Pretoria is set to explode in a nail-biting finale for the 2016 Jeep Warrior Series, powered by Reebok, taking place from 19-20th November 2016.
Open to all shapes and sizes, and all levels of fitness, the Jeep Warrior Series is led by the Jeep brand, powered by Reebok, and only has one requirement for competitors – pushing personal limits as you pit yourself against mud, water, bridges, slides, ladders, climbing nets, monkey ropes and all sorts of challenging terrain and obstacles.
This will be the first time that Legends MX plays host to Jeep Warrior OCR. Ideally located on a working farm with maize, cattle and indigenous wildlife, the venue boasts an extensive network of mountain biking, walking and running trails, providing the ideal backdrop and atmosphere for the Jeep Warrior season finale.
Competition in the super-tough Black Ops and Black Ops Elite race is fierce and presents the toughest of courses, set over 15 – 20 km with up to 30 obstacles, matching world OCR standards. It is the most challenging category, combining both Rookie and Commando obstacles with the addition of grip-strength endurance obstacles involving gripping your own body weight and dragging heavy objects for set distances.
The series ranking by SASeeding takes your top five race results of the eight Jeep Warrior races in the series.
In the womens Black Ops Elite category, Hanneke Dannhauser is top of the log with a full 20 000 points (5 wins/5 races) with Trish Bahlmann on 18 082 points, Carina Marx with 14 980 points and Dominique D’ Oliveira on 14 529 points.
Currently, Thomas Van Tonder leads the men with near-perfect score of 19 699 points, followed by Greg Avierinos with 16 450 points and Bradley Classe with 16 447 points. It will be a nail-biting race to the finish for the athletes competing for the title of Jeep Warrior 2016 series winner.
A less challenging alternative to the extreme Black Ops course is Warrior Commando, which covers 10 – 14km with 15 obstacles. This course is the perfect team-building experience for couples, friends, and work colleagues. Warrior Commando Elite, the next level up, forbids teams or assistance with other participants, and all obstacles have to be completed in order to qualify.
Warrior Rookie is for beginners and the ideal introduction to OCR, presenting 15 simple and fun obstacles over 5-8 km. But beware if you’re unable to complete an obstacle; a 20-burpee penalty will see you on your way.
Warrior Bratz caters for children ages 4 -12 years old, covering a distance of 500 meters; with 8 obstacles aimed at challenging the little athletes. Parents/guardians are welcome to accompany their children through the course, but may not attempt the obstacles themselves.
Says Jonathan Hart, Advendurance event organiser and Jeep Warrior Series Course Designer, “The Bratz Zone is the perfect place for children to play, while parents are participating in the Warrior Race. Access control and childminders ensure that the children will be safe and well-looked after, with various activities to keep the children busy. A special course designed for the brave Bratz can be enjoyed throughout the day.”
So grab an old pair of takkies, t-shirt and shorts and enter you and your friends into South Africa’s biggest growing and hippest sport, Jeep Warrior OCR. Remember, Jeep Warrior courses are not for the meek and mild so be ready to get down and dirty.
There’s still time to enter Jeep Warrior Race 8.
