London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/27/2015 -- Something special is happening in London this September and it's sure to create quite a wave. Never before has an event of this nature, with obstacles this grand and unique been brought within the city limits. And, not only is it a first but it's completely different to all the other events out there. On the 19th and 20th of September Rough Runner will be bringing their obstacle course race to Clapham Common. Now the legendary Travelator will be on the doorstep of millions of Londoners.
Rough Runner is a new and unique breed of event. Everyone has done the 10k's and half marathons, and some will have even done an obstacle race before. But not like this. A Rough Runner race will be tough, of course, but gratuitous pain won't be found there. At a Rough Runner event there is no electrocution, no fire and burning, and no freezing! Instead Rough Runner tries to blend endurance with cool and unique obstacles inspired by the game shows that everyone grew up loving – Takeshi's Castle, Wipeout, Gladiator, Ninja Warrior and more. Most people sat watching those shows and thought, "If that was me I'd do so much better!" and now they all have the chance to prove it.
As founder, Jonathan Geitner says: "We believe that the current obstacle course racing scene isn't appealing to enough people. So many events out there do the same thing: military-style obstacles like climbing walls, mud pits, and barbed wire crawls. Some have dialled up the pain factor to excessive extremes, with ice baths and even tear gas! Not only do you have to be super fit to stand a chance of finishing the run, but also pretty nuts to want to do some of these 'challenges'! Our mission is to replace the pain of these events with pure fun, by bringing your favourite TV game shows to life. We'll give you the chance to dodge sweeper arms, bounce through big balls, challenge the Cyclone and take on the Travelator."
Ticket prices range between £53 and £78 pounds depending on how close to the event tickets are purchased, whether individual or team tickets are purchased, and whether a 5km or 10km run is selected. The event runs from 9am through to approximately 2pm. There are limited tickets remaining so hurry up and get tickets before it's too late!
