The weekend includes several distinct race formats with varying distances and obstacle counts:

  • Super 10K: A 10 km course featuring 25 obstacles.
  • Kids Race: Distances ranging from 1 km to 3 km with included obstacles.

Specific course features include mud pits and rope climbs. The event grounds provide essential facilities for participants, including a bag check area, parking, and processing stations. After completing the course, a festival party is held on-site for participants and spectators. Spectator passes are available for those who wish to view the races from the sidelines without participating in the obstacle courses.
