Obstacle sports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Obstacle Sports consists of 3 main disciplines, Obstacle Course Racing (OCR), Ninja and Adventure race. Obstacle sports is one of the World\u2019s largest participation sports exceeding over 20 million participants in 2019. OCR events cover distances from 100m to over 50km using natural to man-made obstacles. Trails, roads and bodies of water are predominantly used for terrain. Ninja is a rig setup, which is more technical with distances of 50m to 200m. Obstacles may include climbing over walls, carrying heavy objects, traversing bodies of water, crawling under barbed wire, and jumping through fire. Many obstacles are similar to those used in military training, while others are unique to obstacle racing and are employed throughout the course to test endurance, strength, speed, and dexterity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
