#2 Riversands | 27 September 2025
This year, we are changing things up a bit by bringing you Warrior Race to a new venue.
See you at Riversands on 27 September 2025!
Sound the battle cry! Warrior #2 will hit Cape Town, Devonbosch, WC again in 2026!
Run, carry, lift, climb and crawl through our signature Warrior obstacles. Designed to test endurance, strength, agility and perseverance, you will emerge stronger, tougher, braver and muddier!
We challenge you...
The Warrior Race is about perseverance, determination, and grit. It is about the collective tenacity of South Africans to endure and to emerge stronger. Bravery is what defines us. Our courage is our armour.
Clubs and teams, it’s time to rally your crew! Teams are made up of five members, competing for the team prize along with bragging rights. Challenge your club or corporate rivals and conquer the Warrior Race together!
The Warrior Race is the ultimate team-building experience for corporate groups of 20+ participants. Tackle the Rookie event together—overcoming obstacles, running, laughing, and getting muddy while building teamwork and camaraderie!
