Read the answers below.

What is Rugged Rush all about?

Rugged Rush is a Fitness Festival — a celebration of movement, music, and madness!
At the heart of it lies our Obstacle Course Race, a 7 KM challenge featuring thrilling climbs, crawls, jumps, and splashes.

But that’s just the beginning. The festival also brings together fitness competitions, yoga and Pilates sessions, spinning classes, live music, gourmet food stalls, a beer garden, and a coffee takeover.
Think of it as one giant outdoor playground for the body and mind.

Do I need to be a fitness freak to participate?

Not at all! Rugged Rush is designed for everyone — from absolute beginners to seasoned athletes.
You can run, jog, or even walk your way through. The goal isn’t to finish first — it’s to finish smiling (and maybe covered in mud).

How challenging are the obstacles?

They’re meant to challenge, not scare. Each obstacle is doable, and you’re free to skip one if you’re not comfortable.
You’ll find a mix of teamwork, laughter, and that unbeatable “I actually did it!” feeling at the finish line.

Can I come alone or do I need a group?

You can come solo or as part of a group — both work perfectly!
Many participants sign up alone and end up making new friends on the course.
But yes, bringing your friends, colleagues, or gym gang makes it even more fun — especially when someone’s pulling you out of the mud!

What should I wear on race day?

Wear light, quick-dry workout clothes and shoes with good grip.
Avoid jewellery or anything valuable, and tie your laces tight.
Bring a towel and a change of clothes — you’ll want to freshen up after conquering the course!

What should I bring along?
  • Your BIB and wristband — your golden tickets to the race! You can collect them at the venue too. But if you’ve already picked them up earlier, don’t lose them — and don’t forget to bring them along.
  • Water bottle — while we have hydration points across the course, we encourage you to carry your own to help reduce waste.
  • Cash or UPI — for food, drinks, and merchandise at the festival.
  • Towel and a change of clothes — trust us, you’ll thank yourself later.

And most importantly, bring your go-for-it attitude and get ready to make a mess of fun!

Will there be parking?

Yes! We’ve got ample parking for both participants and spectators.

Is there a place to keep my bag?

Yes! A secure baggage counter will be available at the venue.
Please ensure all your belongings are packed inside a zipped or chained bag before submitting.
We won’t be accepting loose items like car keys, mobile phones, or wallets — they must be kept safely inside a bag.

Can my friends and family come watch?

Absolutely — the more, the merrier! Each participant can bring up to 4 spectators.
Spectator registration will be available at the Box Office for INR 299 per person.

There’s a dedicated viewing zone where they can cheer, click photos, and catch all the action.
Spectators can also join in on all the other competitions and festival activities — from fitness sessions to live music — everything except the obstacle course race itself!

What kind of food and drinks can I expect?

A whole lot of deliciousness! The Gourmet Food Zone will serve everything from protein bowls to indulgent treats.
Add in the Beer Garden, Coffee Takeover, and Live Music, and you’ve got the perfect post-race hangout spot.

How is safety managed during the event?

Your safety is our top priority. Trained medical teams, ambulances, and marshals will be stationed across the course.
Every obstacle is designed and tested with safety standards in mind — you focus on the fun, we’ll handle the rest.

Is there an age limit to participate?

Yes — participants must be 18 years or older to take part in the Obstacle Course Race.
We want everyone to enjoy Rugged Rush safely, so only adults can take on the course.
(Younger fitness enthusiasts can still join the festival and take part in the other fun activities!)

What if I can’t complete all the obstacles?

No problem! You can skip any obstacle and continue running.
If you’re in the competitive wave, obstacle completion counts toward rankings — otherwise, it’s all about pushing your limits and enjoying the experience.

How early should I reach the venue?

Try to arrive at least 60–90 minutes before your wave time. That gives you plenty of time to collect your BIB, warm up, and soak in the festival vibe.

Will there be showers or changing areas?

There won’t be showers, but there will be changing areas where you can freshen up.
Bring a towel and wipes if you plan to stay for the post-race party.

What makes Rugged Rush different from other races?

Rugged Rush isn’t just a run – it’s an experience.
It’s about testing your grit, celebrating fitness, and having a blast with friends old and new.
From obstacle racing to yoga, from food to music, it’s everything you love about outdoor fitness — rolled into one unforgettable festival.

Can I participate in a group?

Of course! Sign up together and choose the same time slot while registering. Running with friends makes the experience even better.

What’s the difference between The Challengers and The Rushers?
  • The Challengers: For those who love a bit of competition and want to see how fast they can go. Complete all obstacles to be eligible for prizes.
  • The Rushers: For those who want to enjoy the course at their own pace — run, jog, crawl, laugh, and help others along the way!
Can I run without a BIB?

No, you cannot.
Your BIB and participant wristband are mandatory for entry and identification.
Without them, you won’t be allowed into the venue or onto the course.

How do I collect my BIB number and goodie bag?

After registering, you’ll receive an email with:

  • A link to upload your ID proof
  • A digital waiver form to sign
  • A unique QR code once both steps are complete

Show this QR code at the Box Office at the venue to collect your BIB and goodie bag.

Can my registration be transferred or cancelled?

Registrations cannot be cancelled.
However, you may transfer your ticket to another participant for the same event by writing to info@ruggedrush.com at least 7 days before race day.

Once your BIB is collected, transfers are not allowed. Running with someone else’s BIB will lead to disqualification.

What’s the minimum age to participate?

You must be 18 years or older to participate in the Rugged Rush Obstacle Course Race.
