about the event

There's a high likelihood of getting wet on this course! Pippingford Park offers rolling hills, alluring countryside views, and maybe even wild ponies. A previous host location to the European Championships, this London South-East venue knows how to pack a punch.

The inaugural British OCR Ultra Championship will be held as part of the Spartan London South East Ultra on October 4th, 2025.

All British citizens and residents registered for the Spartan London South East Ultra will automatically be in the running to be crowned our first-ever British OCR Ultra Champions across elite and all age groups.

The announcement coincides with British Obstacle Sports & Spartan UK renewing their partnership, supporting elite and grassroots athletes while driving towards official recognition as a sport in the UK. Major events, Technical Official development, and athlete pathways remain key focus areas. Find out more at britishobstacle.org and uk.spartan.com.

BOS membership is required for all Spartan Race competitive heats; new members can get 30% off with the code SPARTAN.

Avg duration

Navigate classic Spartan obstacles and off-road terrain in our best-selling race. The 5K is the perfect challenge for new Spartans.

CARRY

ATLAS CARRY

A strength challenge that dates back +1000 years to the highland games of Scotland. Summon Celtic strength to lift a 100 lb/45 kg stone up, carry it around a flagpole, and haul it back to the start. Female competitors must carry an equally difficult 75 lb/35 kg stone.

CARRY

ATLAS CARRY

CLIMB

A-FRAME CARGO

A towering obstacle that takes after its name. This giant 'A' shaped structure will test both your dynamic footwork and fear of heights. Climb over the top and down as quickly as possible using only the webbing. This is hard to do fast, especially in wet conditions.

CLIMB

A-FRAME CARGO

CARRY

Barbed Wire Crawl

Wire obstacles were used during the Civil War to slow the enemy, and since then armed forces around the world have made this a staple of basic obstacle courses.

Barbed Wire Crawl

LEAP

FIRE JUMP

The iconic finish line obstacle. Some go for hang-time, others tap an ankle, tuck jump, or join hands with friends. Just don’t land in the fire.

FIRE JUMP

CLIMB

INVERTED WALL

Whoever named this had no idea what inverted actually means, but the name stuck. With some practice, it's possible to run at it, flip over the top, slap the face of it with one arm, and catapult down the other side. You will surely be more popular if you can do this.

CLIMB

INVERTED WALL

CARRY

BUCKET CARRY

Often involves a steep wooden ladder on two sides of a flat crossing, sometimes made from stacked cargo containers. It's high, and after running your legs off, you'll want to take this carefully.

BUCKET CARRY

STRENGTH

HERCULES HOIST

"Herc" is essentially a heavy sandbag attached to a rope and pulley system. Each competitor must pull on enough rope to raise the weight to the top then gently lower it back down without it free-falling.

STRENGTH

HERCULES HOIST

SWING

MULTI-RIG

The Multi-Rig comes in many configurations, starting with Sprint and going right up to Ultra. Sometimes you’ll encounter rings, other times rings and pipes, and sometimes ropes, baseballs, and other tricky things to grab onto.

SWING

MULTI-RIG

CLIMBING

ROPE CLIMB

Gym class was nothing. At the top of the 16 ft / 4.8m rope is a bell that must be rung with your hand. All Spartan race levels feature rope climb, and it becomes progressively more difficult in cold, wet, or muddy conditions.

CLIMBING

ROPE CLIMB

CARRY

SANDBAG CARRY

Spartan sandbags come in various shapes and weigh 60 lb (27 kg) for men / 40 lb (18 kg) for women. This isn't like carrying a bag of groceries.You'll usually find the Sandbag Carry on uneven ground, in mud, or if you’re particularly (un)lucky, up the side of a ski slope.

CARRY

SANDBAG CARRY

CLIMB

SLIP WALL

Rolling Mud is a series of deep water-filled mud pits that make your life difficult by filling your shoes and socks with wet and sticky mud. It’s called “rolling” because you’ll need to wade through several of these pits of brown mud and water.

CLIMB

SLIP WALL

THROW

SPEAR THROW

The obstacle that has defined Spartan World Championships. Your challenge is to choose a spear, fire at a target 25 ft / 7.6 m away, and hope it sticks in the target without falling out. Once you try Spear Throw once you'll want to come back and try again, and it's a lot of fun.

THROW

SPEAR THROW

CLIMB

WALLS

Starting at 4 feet and reaching up to 8 feet high, walls require a combination of strength, agility, coordination, and technique to scale. As always, Spartans are encouraged to attack the course together but conquer all obstacles alone, and walls are no exception.
