The Bootcamp is unlike the usual training runs as the programme is a customized to focus on the agility, strength and core training to help participants overcome the obstacles during the race.

Throughout the 3 bootcamp session there will be obstacle simulations together with high intensity workouts to help train boost participant’s stamina. On this final installment of the bootcamp participant was lead to a 12km run from Hort Park to Telok Blangah which follows a 25-storey vertical climb.

Participant did several intensive uphill short burst sprinting along mount faber route together with intense core and strength training workout. It was a scenic and breathtaking or rather breathless as many participant would agree that it was the toughest training session of all the previous.
