New form

Obstacle running is a new form of running where every three to four hundred metres there is a physical obstacle that each runner is expected to cross.

The obstacles could vary from an obstacle called Brain Free (10 metres long and 4 foot deep but filled with 15 tons of ice cubes) to an obstacle where one has to climb 15 feet on a rope to ring a bell, if they fail they fall into four feet of water.

According to organisers, the course has been designed by ex-commandoes of the Indian Navy with a purpose of giving to every runner an exciting race. At the finish line, runners will get a medal for participation, bandana and energy drink.

Actor Ram Charan is expected to be present during the prize distribution function. To participate visit:www.devilscircuit.com
