Arrival
Plan on arriving 1.5 hours before your scheduled race time to give you enough time to collect your bib, check in any baggage and warm up.
Parking
Parking spaces are ample & FREE of charge!
Registration & bib collection
Everyone has to sign a waiver at the waiver desk prior to picking up your bib, or save yourself some time and bring a signed copy with you. You MUST bring a proof of ID in order to collect your bib & claim your participant, spectator & free beer wristbands. You will also receive your cinch bag with T-shirt and goodies at the registration tent. Wanna save your T-shirt for later? Go right ahead! You can choose to race in it or change into it after… it's up to you.
Wave timings
Starting at 8:30 AM, waves of 200 aspiring warriors will take on the battlefield every 20 minutes.
Spectator information
Not sure if you're up to becoming a Desi Warrior just yet? No worries, you'll get there! The good news is you can join in on all the fun that's happening out on the course. We've designed a cool spectator path that runs through the course so you can check it out for yourself and decide whether you want to give it a shot! You'll even get to witness some of our biggest obstacles & cheer on your friends and family. Warning: spectators have been known to spontaneously register, so come prepared to join the battle! All spectators must sign a waiver before entering the Warrior Arena. Additional spectator passes will be available for Rs 300.
Medals
Desi Warrior medals are earned, not given! You'll receive your finisher medal once you've conquered the course and crossed the finish line.
Bag check
We'll have a bag check available to safely keep your belongings at a charge of Rs 50. You're more than welcome to exit and re-enter the premises if you plan on keeping everything in your car. We realise it's tough to hang on to things out on the course, which is why you'll get an additional wristband that matches your bag for easy collection after your run.
Wash-off area & changing rooms
Facilities to wash off will be available for all warriors, as well as changing rooms, so you can comfortably enjoy our Warrior Arena long after the race.
What to bring
Bring along a towel, a change of clothes (something warm and comfy) and a plastic bag for your dirty clothes. A change of shoes or slippers is recommended, unless you wanna be trudging around in your muddy ones! Carry cash with you as well to enjoy some delicious grub from our local food vendors and to purchase some exclusive memorabilia. ATMs will not be present at the event.
What to wear
There is no dress code, but you'll want to suit up in some sports gear or get funky with team shirts. You can even come dressed in some wild costumes. You'll be working hard, but you might as well have fun while you're doing it.
Costume contests
We reward bravery and those who aren't afraid to let out their wild side! Prizes for the most uniquely dressed individuals, couples and teams will be given out. So go crazy!
