OCR Information
If you want to run at the same time as your friends and family, we advise that you book together to make sure you are all allocated to the same category and time slot.
Please note: There is also a ‘Team Heat’ which will be held in one of the first heats of the day. The difference between ‘running in a team’ and the ‘team heat’ are as follows:
- Running as a team: A group of friends, family or colleagues that want to experience Arabian Warrior together and secure a discount for their group entry. Should team members select timing for themselves, the results will be given as individuals.
- Team Heat: This is a specialized heat with teams competing against each other. There will be one timing chip allocated to the team. The team will need to stay together throughout the race (we’ve got a creative way to make sure that happens!). The team that crosses the line in the shortest time will be crowned champions!
You sure can! Participants can run as individuals and there will be plenty of people on course to help when needed. From the start line through to the last obstacle, you will make many new friends willing to lend you a helping hand where needed.
