How to prepare for NSK Groningen
A survival run is more technical than a typical mud run. Expect climbs, rope traverses, water sections and obstacles that you may have to try more than once. Work on grip, climbing and core strength, and practise rope climbing and balancing if you can. Running fitness still matters, but the obstacles decide your time.
Wear tight-fitting clothing without loose parts that can get caught in ropes and nets, and only use gloves if the rules allow them. Shoes with good grip and drainage are essential, because you will be wet for most of the course.
Plan the day itself as well. Arrive early enough to collect your start number, park and find the start area without rushing. Bring dry clothes, a towel, a bag for wet or muddy gear and something to eat and drink after the finish. Check the information from the organiser for start times, waves, parking, the minimum age and what is included in your ticket.
