Applications for a chance for teams of two to fly to Ibiza, Spain, and compete in a Red Bull obstacle course will close in just a few days.
- Organizers are looking for a few more U.S. teams to join in – expenses paid!!
The Details
Teams from around the world will take on challenging and (slightly) outrageous obstacles as they run, jump, and slide to the top of Ibiza Castle.
The island’s first mixed-pair obstacle course race is all about fitness and fun, with nine unique and entertaining obstacles in a 1.4km (.8 mile) course. And each course comes from the boundless imagination of a creator, athlete, or gaming professional.
- The event is not CrossFit-focused, per se, but it is an opportunity to test overall fitness and adaptability.
Anyone can apply for a chance to take part, and on April 7-9, up to 250 selected teams from over 50 countries will immerse themselves in a four-day Ibiza adventure. The top 10 teams will advance to the Grand Finale on April 9.
The Course
Designed to challenge body and mind, every obstacle is different, testing speed, strength, balance, and reaction.
- Each is designed by a different athlete or creator, such as American adventure sports and fitness athlete Demi Bagby and Obstacle Course Racing champion and HYROX competitor Ida Mathilde Steensgaard of Denmark.
Specific details of the course and the obstacles are not released, adding a bit of “unknown and unknowable” to the whole experience.
Application
- Step 1: Find a friend of the opposite gender. The competition is open to all fitness levels. Just keep in mind that you’ll need to run close to a mile-long course that’s generally uphill, and it’s advised that you both have a good sense of humor!
- Step 2: Complete the qualifying challenge game or compete at a local qualifying event.
- Check out the website to find a public qualifying event near you, or take on a gamified version online.
- Step 3: Submit your team video. Once you’ve completed the initial qualification, you’ll be invited to submit a team video that showcases why your team should be chosen. The video shouldn’t be more than 60 seconds long. Selection is based on “energy, creativity, and flair, so be sure to show off your active lifestyle and energetic personalities.”
Visit the website for all the details and be sure to complete the qualifying challenge and submit your video by March 14, 2025.
