Course Description:
We like to keep things simple, fun and challenging so we have 3 race options that cater to all:
THE RAPID GRIND 5km: 18 to 20 obstacles over a easier course but still challenging.
THE DEEP GRIND 8km: 25 to 30 obstacles over challenging terrain
THE DEEP GRIND ELITE 8km – 25 to 30 obstacles over challenging terrain suited to ELITE competitors
THE LITTLE G: 1km – 7 obstacle whippersnapper course to keep the kids entertained and hopefully get them hooked on THE GRIND
We have selected Hillcrest Wine and Olive Farm as our venue for its amazing spectator area allowing a uninterrupted view of the final 8 obstacles which are locate in and around the water in the quarry, expect some amazing water crossings and never before seen obstacles.
The Rapid Grind 5km has been designed with first timers in mind and is a great introduction to Obstacle Course Racing, it will be challenging but achievable.
The Deep Grind 8km and ELITE will loop off of the 5km course and includes some very difficult inclines and terrain- although the course is 8km long you must not be fooled - this one will be tough.

What to wear:
• Light and Tight: wear clothing that will not become water logged easily, cotton sweaters and thicker fabrics can hold a lot of water and tire you out. Tighter clothing stops mud from getting where you don’t want it consider spandex and compression clothing
• There are shoes and there are shoes: All you really need is a pair of running shoes but if you are more competitive we suggest a good pair of trail running shoes. Be sure to lace up tight you don’t want to lose a shoe in the mud.
• Make sure you bring warm clothing for after the event.
