Would you like to get a taste of the kinds of events we organize? We invite you to take part already this year in Vägilase jooks, taking place on 1–2 August in Lähte. Lähte is located just 15 minutes from Tartu!
Participating in Vägilase jooks is a great opportunity to get familiar with our organization style and obstacle design. In addition, it offers a chance to get to know Estonia and Tartu a bit better.
On 1st of August, two events will take place in the evening.
At 18:30, the 8 km technical race (elite) will start. This race uses a wristband system: if an obstacle is not completed, a wristband is cut off, and at the finish the athlete must complete a corresponding number of penalty loops. Losing all wristbands results in no official result. The system is therefore very similar to that used at the European Championships. If you register at least 4 participants at once, you receive a 20% discount on the entry fee.
After the elite race, a nighttime adventure awaits. At 22:22, all interested participants will head out on a 5 km FUN event held in the dark. Technical obstacles are set aside, with the focus instead on mud, water, and other special night-time challenges.
On 2nd of August, it’s time for a big obstacle course racing celebration! You can take part in the 8 km FUN course, where no podium places are awarded and the emphasis is purely on the joy of participation. Those who wish to compete for podium positions can register for the 4 km short course instead. This sprint-style route offers a balanced mix of technical challenges and enjoyable terrain. Wristbands are not used in these races. If an obstacle is not completed, a penalty must be carried out at the obstacle, such as an extra loop or an additional task.
