History & introduction The Warrior Race is an obstacle course racing series that spans eight events across four provinces. The event features three distances of increasing difficulties, sparking an obstacle-racing craze that has seen the event grow from 40,000 people in the first year to 80,000 since Jeep South Africa became involved in sponsorship. The approach of generating high impact and engaging content for social media has allowed the Jeep Warrior Race to reach a massive audience organically without expensive promotion, hitting over 100,000 people in the week leading up to events. The Jeep Warrior Race Facebook page grew from scratch to 40,000 likes in just 18 months, reaching over 400,000 unique users in 2014 alone. Last year also saw sold out events in every category and skill level - with the addition of a specialized kiddies zone due to popular demand - while still catering for the elite and the masses.

You can significantly reduce the volume of calories you consume by changing the way you prepare your meals. Rather opt to steam and grill foods instead of shallow frying and deep frying them. Sauces, dressings and condiments add large amounts of calories to an otherwise healthy meal, they should be avoided as far as possible.

Obstacle Racing is an amazing adventure that is fun-filled, action-packed and a highly entertaining spectator’s sport. The challenging and exciting obstacles that participants have to take on and conquer very often lead to awkward and extremely funny incidents and are a blast to witness as a spectator. The Jeep Warrior Race is no different, so if people are not actually participating in the race, there is no reason why they cannot still share in all the fun and action and be entertained by the crazy stuff that the “Warriors” are up to on the obstacle course. To get spectators as close to the action as possible, there will be designated spectator view points on the course - so bring those cameras! You will definitely want to capture some of that crazy action on camera. Spectator entry fee includes access to the entertainment area where a fun-filled day is guaranteed with DJ’s, beer stands, food stalls and a dedicated product expo area.

SPECTATOR ENTRY FEE • R30 (kids under the age of 10 don’t pay an entrance fee) • Spectators must stay outside the clearly marked danger zones. • No spectators are allowed on the course or on an obstacle. No spectators are allowed to follow any of the participants throughout the course. No spectator vehicles, bikes, bicycles, etc. will be allowed on the course or in the race village. • No spectator or unofficial photographers are allowed beyond the marked area around an obstacle to take photos. • Please note that any pictures or video footage taken at the race remain the property of The Warrior Race and is for non-commercial use only.

SAFETY AND SECURITY There will be security guards in and around the race village and parking area for general security and safety. Please note that we will NOT be responsible for the security of any personal belongings and items. It will be your own responsibility to look after your personal items or alternatively book it in at our secure locker zone (see above). Also please make sure that you don’t leave any valuables on the seats of your car or at any other clearly visible place in your car. Please hide it away in the boot or under the seats just to make sure you don’t tempt any potential “thieves”.
