Here’s a handy guide to the rules of how it all works.

  • More than 5000 Aussies registered to compete. Applicants are put through intense interviews and physical tests before being selected.

  • There are five heats of six obstacles. Obstacles consist of quintuple steps, tilting frames, warped walls and a swing cycle.

  • Fifty competitors take the 
course in each heat.

  • Your run of the course is over if any part of you touches the water.

  • Only the top 18 competitors qualify for the semi-finals – determined by those who go 
the furthest in the fastest time.

  • The semi-finals will be made 
up of nine obstacles.

  • There are 30 competitors in 
each semi-final. The top seven 
will go through to the Grand Final.
