Heroes Obstacle Race Lähte competition for elites will take place on August 1. Podium places will be awarded in the Heroes Obstacle Race, Estonian Championships and Baltic League categories at the main race distance.

Event center

The event center is located next to the Lähte Sportshall – google maps link!  

Before start

The starting materials will be issued based on the starting number. The competition shirt will also be issued with the starting materials, if previously ordered.

For faster issuance of starting materials, please check your bib number in advance from the start protocol (at the information stand, on the website) and tell it to the organizer issuing the numbers. Each competitor will receive a number vest and a timing chip as part of the starting materials. The number vest must be worn over clothing throughout the competition.

The number vest and timing chip must be returned to the organizers after finishing the race!

Distance and course

The length of the course is approximately 8 km. There are natural and built obstacles on the course. The course is marked with arrows, ribbon and referees.

To maintain obstacles in good health, it’s forbidden to use shoes with spikes.

Obstacles

General rules for the competition and specifications for obstacles can be found in the lexicon of obstacles. 

An unlimited number of attempts can be used to pass the obstacles. If you fail to pass the obstacle, you will lose your wristband. If there is a queue in front of an obstacle, priority is given to those who have the first attempt and/or who have more wristbands.

Wristband and penalty loop system

Competitors have 3 wristbands (4 wristbands for women) visible around their wrists at the start. If a competitor is unable to complete an obstacle in accordance with the regulations, the wristband will be removed.

After completing all obstacles, the competitor must have at least 1 wristband left in order to have the result recorded and proceed to the penalty loop(s).

Before the finish, the participant must complete the penalty loop as many times as the number of wristbands lost on the course to restore the original number of the wristbands (4 for women, 3 for men). If all wristbands are lost on the course, the participant will proceed directly to the finish.

If a competitor loses all wristbands on the course, the result will not be recorded (DNC).

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.

Start and finish
