GRIND 02 ELITE BATCHES ARE FULL - UNDERDOG CATEGORY IS NOW OPEN

THE GRIND 02 UNDERDOG DIVISION NOW OPEN

 What is the underdog division?

The concept behind the Underdog division is to create a wildcard scenario which is unique to ISOCR, we believe that there are many people out there that can give the top athletes a run for their money over a short distance and back to back obstacles but they don’t know it yet!

How does it work?

As we anticipated a lot of people don’t want to run alongside elites in fear of being left in their dust, the Underdog division solves this problem. If you choose to take part in this divison you are allowed to pay a lower rate to run the first two timed runs only after the elites have run. You can then compare your times with the elite times and decide if you want to buy in for the rest of the event and compete for prize money

How much does it cost?

Underdog entry – R250.00: You will run in Round One only and you will have 2 official timed runs.
Buy in -  R150.00: Once you are feeling ready and confident, this buys you access to Rounds 2 – 5 (if you are fast enough)

If you choose to buy in you also get free entry to our next outdoor event

Spectators :

Athletes will receive two free spectator passes for friends or family. Spectator tickets will be available at the door at R30.00 for adults and R20.00 for kids this allows you access to the venue for the whole day including the finals. Regardless of the time you arrive, spectator passes are R30.00 for adults and R20.00 for kids

Due to the fact that we will be using the entire venue for the actual race spectator tickets are limited to 1500 people
