NZ Obstacle Team | 3K burner 🔥🇳🇿

Athletes took on the 3K in the arvo after the 15K

A quick refuel, a short lie-down, then the team was back at it. Having the opportunity to touch almost all of these obstacles already and no sign of the snake pit or twister to eat our bands this time, results were absolutely stacked.

Shoutout to our 3K legends 💫

NZ Obstacle Team | 15K Throwdown 💥

We took on the 15k course, around 40 obstacles and the first 3km loaded with the more technical rigs… our crew showed up with pure grit and determination. The snake pit and the twister had other plans for some of us, but everyone left it all out there.
