The Elements routes

Earth
If you are new to obstacle course racing then this is the perfect distance to start you off. This is one lap of the 8K course and will be packed with obstacles and mental challenges for you to overcome

Wind
This will push you a bit harder than the Earth Course. Twice as hard in fact as you will have to complete 2 laps of the 8K course. This is for those willing to push themselves that bit harder with double the obstacles and double the distance

Water
This is for those who want a challenge, and we mean a challenge! This will be three laps of the 8K course and this will be hard but triple the fun, This one might just burn your legs and you will be sore the next day.

Fire
This is most definitely not for everyone! This will be four laps of the 8K course and to even think about taking this on there must be something wrong with you! This will hurt, you may even cry, but if you do complete this then you will claim your spot on The Elements wall of fame and earn maximum respect from the Elements team.

Infinity
How many laps can you complete in 12 hours? 8am till 8pm. Keep going till you can't go anymore?
