Arosa / Switzerland
The mountain is calling, take off and enjoy the experience
The traditional Graubünden holiday and spa resort of Arosa lies at the end of the romantic Schanfigg valley, 1800 metres above sea level. Arosa invites you to escape from the daily stress, to fill up with fresh air, to enjoy the impressive mpountain panorama, to discover lakes, green meadows and much more.Whether hiking, biking or swimming in Untersee you will quickly be inspired by the Arosa feeling. Thanks to many years of experience in events, Arosa also has much to offer for adrenaline junkies.
If you love high-altitude adventure, this is the place to be. In and around Arosa, it’s up’n down at an altitude of plus/minus 2000 metres; right in the middle, the Arosa Tower, in the Untersee. An eight-metre vertical net climb, if you fall, you soak! X-LITE , half the distance will do too! Untersee, Arosa Lido, start and finish area – it’s just an idyllic spot during the Arosa summer: Floating Islands, Multi Rig, Tripple Wall, Jeep Crawl. Close to the tree line, it goes on with many more obstacles up to over 2,200 metres – X-LITE it’s so cool, you have the easier trail, before both courses meet again for the Axe Throw. Arosa – All in, 100% nature, in ice cold waterfalls, many Net Climbs, great Single Trails, lots of Walls, river crossings, mountain lakes and clearly fitting into the Swiss mountains scenario, the Milk Can Load and especially dedicated to the Arosa Bear Country, the Eight Metre Bear Crawl; for the X-LITE, 4 metres -just easy. In the middle of the Arosa forests, MonsterWall, the NutCracker and many other different challenges, one of which is definitely the highlight, the ice-cold waterfall / X-FULL – and if you’re already in Arosa, we recommend adding a few days to your stay, in a nature’n magic mountain world.

X-Lite, X-Full or x-titan
No matter if you‘re a beginner or an obstacle fan, the OCR X-LITE with ca. 6k+ course and 22obstacles++, is the right chance. For experienced athletes or well-trained amateurs, the OCR X-FULL is the ideal course to push yourselves to the max with 14k+ trail and 35 obstacles++. And for those who are tough enough, just race twice! Join us on both races and become a X WARRIOR TITAN.
Competitive vs non-competitive
All COMPETITIVE athletes will be timed, judged (10 optional penalty zones along the course), ranked and awarded according to their age group. Competitive athletes are not allowed to help each other and failure to complete an obstacle leads to a penalty of an extra loop. If the penalty hasn’t been carried out, athletes will be classified in the NON COMPETITVE category.
NON COMPETITIVE athletes are timed, ranked and allowed to help other participants as well as skipping obstacles or leaving the course on own responsibility. NON COMPETITIVE Teams regardless of a minimum/maximum number of participants/gender can either work together or they can fight it out on their own. For those who can’t or won’t gain an obstacle, no penalty will be applied.
ROLLLING START
To avoid traffic jams on the course and queues in front of the obstacles, there is a ROLLING START system: COMPETITIVE athletes start in pairs about 30 seconds apart. NON COMPETITIVE athletes usually start in fours, teams can also start together in their total number. The starting order is always starting with the COMPETITIVE athletes first and then the NON COMPETITIVE athletes.
OCR WORD CHAMPIONSHIPS
The top three overall finishers (M/F) competing in the COMPETITIVE version of the X-LITE, X-FULL and X-TITAN automatically qualify for the OCR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. The OCR World Championships are the only world championships in obstacle racing, independent and open to participation by professional, amateur (AG) and relay team athletes – one weekend, 5 races, the choice is yours!
