2018 Training Program

We are excited to announce our 2018 training program. The Battlegrounds has teamed up with Assault Fitness and Jason Rulo, as well as KOR Komplex, to offer a training program to help participants prepare for the upcoming race. All participants must be 18 years of age or older.

JasonRuloTraining led by Jason Rulo, owner of Assault Fitness and member of the Battle Corps race team.

Jason is an obstacle racing veteran and Battle Corps member who has created a program that provides an entire training regimen:

  • Receive 10 on-your-own workout plans
  • Attend boot camps that are geared toward building your fitness level for the event
  • Learn valuable practical experience on obstacle completion

The full training program is included as long as you attend at least one Training Day event and will provide you the insight and information you will need to maximize your experience at The Battlegrounds. It makes all the difference when you are able to learn the proper techniques for obstacles and then practice skills like the rope climb, cargo net climb, running up the warped wall, and even what to wear (or not to wear) on race day.
