Come, let's try "survival run" with Uppsala Survival! We can promise a challenging, pulse-raising, and slightly different moment on our obstacle course. There you will get to climb ropes, over logs, and cling to nets under the guidance of our experienced instructors.
Survival run, originating in the Netherlands, is a variant of obstacle course running most closely related to what in Sweden is called OCR (obstacle course race). At Uppsala Survival, you can train to prepare for OCR competitions, or just because it's an extremely fun form of training, and we're a great bunch!
Survival run may seem a bit difficult at first, but everyone trains according to their own ability. It is a versatile form of training where you build strength, flexibility, mobility and endurance. Like a playground for adults.
On this occasion, you can try the Survival Run under the guidance of experienced instructors. If you want to continue, you are most welcome to join the association KFUM Uppsala Survival
Find Uppsala Survival, Bertilsvägen 7.
