More event info
Arrival
Plan on arriving 1 hour 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 entering the Warrior Arena. So save yourself some time and bring a signed copy with you to bib collection, or on event day if you missed picking up your bib. You MUST bring a proof of ID in order to collect your bib & claim your goodie bag. 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 7:30 AM, waves of 200 aspiring warriors will take on the battlefield every 30 minutes.
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.
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 run.
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 some cash with you to buy food and goodies. If you carry your cell phone (for that perfect selfie), then putting it in a Ziploc is highly recommended!
Food & beverage
There will be a selection of food trucks to satisfy every craving. After pushing yourself to the limit, there is nothing better than biting into your favourite post-workout snack!
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!
Spectator information
Not sure if you're up to becoming a Desi Warrior just yet? No worries, you'll get there! We've designed a cool spectator path that gives you access to portions of the course, so you can check out the action 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 battling it out on the field. 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.
