After the finish

Mission complete. Now celebrate it.

As soon as the medals go on, the volume goes up. Live bands and DJs bring the soundtrack to your survival story. Regroup with your squad, share the hard parts and enjoy the finish you earned.

Food and recovery

FUEL UP & RECOVER – HEAD HOME READY.

You’ve burned through the battlefield — now it’s time to refuel. Our hand-picked international street food vendors serve recovery fuel and indulgent eats alike. Come hungry. Leave happy.

Recover with a post-course massage, find event-exclusive shirts, hoodies, mugs and buffs, and leave your kit at the charity bag drop run by Unique Kidz and Co. Event merchandise is available while stocks last.
