Rules and briefings that every participant understands before the start, in their own language.

The rules, the course, what to bring, the paperwork: the same questions every season, from participants of many countries. We turn the answers into short narrated lessons, rule cards and a volunteer briefing, in many languages and reviewed once.

What works best for these learners

A laptop and a phone side by side, both showing a course explainer video with a large play button over a muddy hillside.

Course explainer videos

The route, obstacle by obstacle, narrated and captioned.

Four rule cards fanned on a table, each with a coloured edge and a drawing of one obstacle: a wall, a rope, a mud pit and a cargo net.

Rule cards

One rule and its penalty per card, to print or to read on a phone.

A team lead in an orange vest points at a course map on an easel while five volunteers and marshals listen, with a clipboard, a whistle and a green bag on a table.

Briefing for volunteers and marshals

What to watch, what to say, and when to call first aid.

    The rules and the penalties

    Every obstacle at the Ridgeback Run is yours to try. If you skip one, or fail it after two attempts, do ten burpees at the marshal's mark before you move on. The marshal counts out loud and notes your bib number. Helping another runner is welcome and never penalised. Cutting the course or blocking a lane means disqualification.

    The course: obstacles and climbs

    The Ridgeback Run is ten kilometres long, with twenty-eight obstacles and four hundred and fifty metres of climbing. The first long climb runs from kilometre two to kilometre three and a half, and ends at a four-metre rope. The ridge trail brings the two-metre wall at kilometre five. The second climb starts at kilometre six, and then it is mostly downhill. Water points are at kilometres three, six and eight.

    What to bring and how race day works

    Arrive ninety minutes before your wave and collect your bib and timing chip with a photo ID. Bring grippy shoes and a spare shirt. The elite wave starts at nine, the open waves at nine thirty and ten. Cut-offs: kilometre six within two hours, the finish within three. Rain does not stop the race, lightning does. Hurt? Raise an arm: first aid is at kilometres three and seven.

    Registration and paperwork

    Register online in three steps: pick your wave, enter your details, pay the fee. This event asks for a medical certificate, a signed waiver and proof of insurance, or you can add day cover at checkout. Bring the originals to bib pick-up. A bib can be transferred until two weeks before the race, and refunds are possible until thirty days before. The rules of your own federation also apply.
