Obstacle Course >
Queensland > Brisbane > The Holt Bolt Obstacle RaceThe Holt Bolt is a 6-8km military inspired obstacle race series on the Bald Hills flats. It is run on and around the nationally recognised cross country course of St Paula's School. The course has it all, from the South Pine River to the vast expanses of bushland, paddocks and grass fields. Scattered throughout the course are mud flats, dams, ditches and hills making this course the ideal location for Brisbane's first obstacle racing series. There are three Holt Bolta's for 2015 and there will be a winner of the series as well as winners of each race. Participants are encouraged to not only compete against others but compete against their previous times.
This series will see the introduction of a $300 cash prize for the series winners (male and female) and a Holt Bolt medal for those Bolters who complete all three races of the series. To be eligible to win the series you must have completed all obstacles in each race.
Aside from the shorter distance comparative to other obstacle races in surrounding areas, the main stand out factor in The Holt Bolt races is the extensive number of obstacles incorporated into the event. Where previous obstacle races have had up to a number of kilometres between obstacles, this course has been structured so that competitors are continuously being challenged by plenty of obstacle structures placed continuously throughout the race.
The obstacles range from military inspired climbing frames, rope climbs and commando crawls through to mud runs, wall climbing, low ropes and rope traverses over water and balancing exercises along the South Pine River.
Each race may include but is not limited to the following obstacles:
Hay bale mazes
Rope climbs over mud and dams
Slippery 45 degree cliff faces with ropes and steep embankments
Cargo net crawls through sand and mud
Mud pits
Rope climbs over and through dams, mud and rivers
Low ropes
Rope swings
Paint tunnel
Mud trenches
Skip bin climbing
Spider webs
Low net crawls
Quagmires
Water slides

Tyre maze

Whilst completing the obstacles competitors, as a team or individually, will be covering up to 8 km of terrain. Waves are run every 7 minutes throughout the day.
