There will not be an awarding ceremony for kids, everyone will receive a medal and a sweet treat. The number is adhesive but it can also be attached with safety pins. Children’s feet and hands may get dirty on the course, but all obstacles are safe and take children’s age into consideration. We kindly ask parents not to run on the course with children (only if it’s really necessary) so children could get a great experience all by themselves!

Before the start

Starting materials will be given to you at the event center. You will also receive Heroes Obstacle Race T-shirt, if you ordered one. To receive your materials faster, we recommend you to check your starting number from the starting protocol and tell it to the person who hands out materials! STARTING PROTOCOL You will receive a number vest and a chip for timing. It is obligatory to wear the number on top of your clothes during the whole race. Please return the number vest and timing chip after the race!

You can also register at the event center until 12:00 PM! Payment is possible in cash and by card! To register any changes (switching the starting group, not participating, replacing somebody), please notify the people who hand out starting materials until 12:00 PM! We will not accept any changes later. On the day of the competition and the day before it (Saturday-Sunday), the fee for changes is 5€ + the difference in participation fees.

Distances and courses

The length of the main course is approximately 7.5 km. There are natural and built obstacles on the course. The distance of the short course is approximately 4 km. The course is marked with arrows, ribbon and referees. To maintain obstacles in good health, it’s forbidden to use shoes with spikes. Map of the track!

Obstacles

Some of the obstacles may be difficult (i.e plank walls) especially for women and shorter people. That is why we call up participants to help your co-participants and if needed, ask for help!

If you can not pass the obstacle you need to do burpees or push-ups. There are also obstacles in the water and water may be over your head. If you do not feel comfortable doing it then you can choose to do burpees/push-ups instead. Some of the obstacles have fast and slow course. Fast course is tougher yet shorter. Slow course is easier to pass, but it may take more time or there will be an extra obstacle (i.e crawling). We really recommend to at least try the obstacle before choosing the alternative way. The course is tough. In order to maintain good feeling and to enjoy the race, we recommend to start out slowly! If there is a queue or you can not pass a participant on a narrow way, please remain calm and polite. Ask the way nicely when it is possible to pass.

Safety 

All participants take part on their own risk! Obstacles are built so that they would be challenging yet safe for the participants. There is medical service in the race center, who will help you in case of injuries.
