Welcome to Rise of the Obstacles, the evolution of Obstacle Wonderland’s signature experience, marking a new chapter where every athlete big, small, young, and old can step onto the course, face real obstacles, and RISE.

ADULTS "CROWN OF FIRE' 100 METER SPRINT OCR
Our fastest, most intense test at Obstacle Wonderland.

This is pure power, precision, and execution. Athletes will face a straight-line, obstacle-packed course designed to push speed, strength, grip, and technical skill to the absolute limit. Every move matters. Any mistake costs time. This heat is built for athletes who thrive under pressure and can move aggressively while staying composed. Strategy matters but execution wins. If you want a true test of obstacle skill where speed meets mastery, this is where you prove it. One course. One shot. One champion.

What to expect:
✔ A short, explosive competitive course
✔ Dense obstacle placement no wasted steps
✔ Grip, strength, balance, and coordination under pressure
✔ Two attempts at running the course
✔ Fastest time counts

All racers will receive a finisher medal, and additional podium awards will be given to top overall male and female, plus 1st in each age group.

What to expect:

✔ Fun, non competitive course
✔ Trail sections to test pacing and recovery
