The start lists with start times will be released a few days before the race. The first start is at 12:00 PM, with the highest-ranked women and men in the competitive class. After that, we will release the starting groups at a few-minute intervals to avoid long queues at the obstacles.
We will have a break of about 45 minutes before the first start for Run for Fun, approximately at 13:45 pm. In Run for Fun, participants generally start according to the order of registration, but some adjustments will be made so that those with the same team or company affiliation start together.
For the family race on Sunday, the first start is at 12:00 pm and is based on the order of registration. Some adjustments will be made so that participants with the same team or family name start together.

The Obstacle Run is an urban race, but the running will take place on various types of terrain. Some obstacles, such as Ninja Jumps and Ramp, require good grip from your shoes.
In dry and sunny weather, a pair of classic running shoes will work just fine, but in rainy conditions, trail shoes might be beneficial. Shoes with metal spikes are NOT allowed.
It's up to each individual. Most people manage well without gloves. On some obstacles, such as Rope Climb and Toroz Rig, some runners find they get a better grip with gloves, especially if it's wet.
If you are running in the competition class, you will start with three wristbands. For each obstacle you fail to complete, you are required to hand over one of the wristbands to an official. If you lose all three of your wristbands, your timing chip will be removed before you cross the finish line, and you will not receive an official finish time.
If you're running in Run for Fun, you can choose to skip an obstacle and instead do 10 burpees before continuing.
We have general rules that apply to all runners. If you're running in the competition class, there are additional rules to consider.
