Caveman 2017, Netherlands

I’m a caveman. Sometimes I feel like that. I love to make a fire in my garden. I like the smell of fire and looking into the stars. Okay, that has nothing to do with the Caveman OCR. The Name of these OCR is given by the Cauberg caves in Valkenburg and the fact that a part of the trail goes through them. In total, you run around 1,5km in the underground. It’s special. I don’t know any other OCR with an “obstacle” like this. It’s more a highlight than an obstacle. The caves are illuminated with lights and videos projections. It’s cool!

The complete run is around a little mountain. From the bottom to the top of it. So you can imagine it’s not a flat trail. There are some altitude to overcome. You have to handle it!

All over the trail are many water obstacles. Some natural (a river) some artificially constructed. But all of them are very wet ;-) There are other e.g. climbing obstacles. But if you don’t want to get wet try another OCR.

This time we were two. A girl from my running club and me. The start area is a bit too small for all the runners and the audience. But let’s take a positive look at these: The mood is gigantic and is literally vibrating. Everyone cheers for you. You feel like you could fly.

Valkenborg is a tourist town and a part of the parkour is in the city. Sometimes you are looked at strangely. The tourist don’t really  know what happens around them. It’s funny!
