Waterra outdoor events
Cascades Lifestyle Center in partnership with Waterra OCR invite you and your friends to join us for a morning of fun and entertainment. Living up to Cascades slogan of "Inspired By Nature" and Waterra's ethos of making use of the natural terrain, we can promise you that whether you are an elite athlete, a corporate team, or if you are taking part in an OCR event for the first time, this race is suited to everyone's abilities and promises to be loads of fun.
All ability and fitness levels will be catered for at this event with the fun factor for participants remaining the most important criteria. We will be offering three race categories, The Family Fiver (5 km-1 loop), the Heroes In Training (10 Km-2 loops) and the Heroes For a Day (15 km-3 loops).As the format works on a 5 km jam packed loop,making it a super friendly spectator course. The more challenging obstacles will have lanes for each category to avoid bottlenecks and cater for all abilities from the Novice to the Elite participant.
For those who prefer to enter as a team of friends or work colleagues, there will be plenty of opportunities to help each other through the obstacles. To cater for the younger athletes, we have the primary school 5 km team challenge and the High School 10 km Team Challenge category where teams of 4 will compete against one another.
If obstacles aren't for you ,we also have a 5 km and a 10 km trail run option available on two separate routes,with a combination of amazing forest trails and jeep track.
