KZN, MPUMALANGA AND WESTERN CAPE RACES STILL TO COME<\/p>\n

JOHANNESBURG, 13 APRIL 2016<\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s time to unleash the inner warrior. If you can imagine speeding down giant water slides, swinging from ropes and bars, belly-crawling through mud, running through nature, climbing up and over walls and getting covered head to toe in mud, then hurry and book your spot at the Jeep Warrior Obstacle Course Race<\/strong>, 23-24 April 2016, at Hobby Park, Krugersdorp, Gauteng. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Says Jonathan Hart, Jeep Warrior Series Course Designer<\/strong>, \u201cObstacle course racing is really rewarding for all sorts of people with varying fitness levels because each race combines a little of everything. Even for first timers, there\u2019ll be obstacles they\u2019re good at, which make them feel great, and there\u2019ll be some that they\u2019re not so good at because they\u2019ve never done anything like that before, which spurs them on to come back for more, trying harder the next time.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Say<\/strong>s <\/em>Shane Howarth, Head of Sponsorship at Jeep South Africa, \u201c<\/strong>What truly makes obstacle course racing unique compared to all other sports is the comradery generated at every event. This is a festive sport celebrating life. Every event is full of opportunities to lend a hand or get a boost up yourself. Once you\u2019re talked someone into jumping off a 6m high tower into water, the effect can be eye opening \u2013 you\u2019ll see that most people are there for the fun and camaraderie. It\u2019s at that point you realise you\u2019ve found your fitness tribe.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Every Jeep Warrior Race takes place in a stunning outdoor arena and includes three distances that increase in difficulty and intensity. All courses feature a combination or trail running, climbing, jumping, swinging, crawling, carrying heavy stuff and wading through mud, but the exact obstacles change at every event, adding to the sense of surprise and unexpected adventure that keeps people coming back for more and more.<\/p>\n

Says Hart<\/strong>, \u201cFor the next Jeep Warrior race in Krugersdorp at the end of April, we\u2019ve reworked the Hobby Park venue <\/em>to make it more spectator friendly and to basically give everyone a fun day out in the sun. Hobby Park is great because it\u2019s not too flat and it\u2019s not ridiculously hilly. It\u2019s basically all sorts of seasons in one \u2013 with a few climbs, some rocks and some mud. Warriors definitely won\u2019t be bored!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

For the super fit competing in the toughest event in the Jeep Warrior Series – Black Ops Elite (15km with 30 obstacles) – the notorious Breaking Point obstacle is making a fierce comeback at Hobby Park. A brand-new obstacle called Extreme Monkey will also be unveiled. Here, elites will face an extreme upper body strength and grip test as they navigate the obstacle\u2019s pivoting ladders.<\/p>\n

Says Jeep Warrior Black Ops Elite athlete, Thomas van Tonder (Jeep Team),<\/strong> \u201cI love Jeep Warrior Races because at every event there are always surprises. My nemesis obstacle is Cliff Hanger because it\u2019s beaten me once or twice before so I\u2019m always weary. My favourite obstacles are the ones involving slides and water jumps – these bring back the fun and remind me why I love OCR. Breaking Point is a very satisfying obstacle, but it can be heart-breaking as well.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Warrior Rookie<\/strong> is the ideal course for OCR beginners. The 6.2km course at Hobby Park will feature 15 simple and fun obstacles. This includes Mud Monster (a series of mud pools and clay banks that competitors wade through and then climb up and slide down), Slippery Dip (a giant water slide) and the fear-of-heights-conquering Tower Jump (6m jump into a pool). If you can\u2019t complete an obstacle \u2013 just do some burpees.<\/p>\n

Thomas van Tonder\u2019s number one tip for Warrior first timers<\/strong>, \u201cDo your first race as a team and wear clothes and shoes that you don\u2019t feel sorry for \u2013 you\u2019re going to get really dirty.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Ready to up your game? Try Warrior Commando<\/strong> \u2013 a more challenging 10km course with 22 obstacles. Commando is labelled as the ultimate team-building experience for couples, friends and work colleagues. This course features more upper body challenges, the most difficult being rope hanging.<\/p>\n

Warrior Black Ops<\/strong> is the toughest of the challenges, presenting a gruelling 15km course with 30 extreme obstacles. This is a test pf physical, mental and emotional endurance. Obstacles have been designed to break athletes, with only the super fit crossing the finish line.<\/p>\n
