The Campus Obstacle Run, organized by survival run association D.S.S.V. Tartaros, takes place in 2 months, a good time to put some nice facts together!
- Did you know that 1,290 meters of rope were used last year
- 58 meters of beams have been used
- 1,792 meters of rope have been ordered, it is cheaper in large trusses than per meter
- Of the 1,792 meters, there are 902 meters of 12 mm thick strings, these are mainly extra safety strings
- This year 30 meters of beams will be purchased
- This year 9 extra obstacles will be realized
- Despite the fact that only 56 meters of extra rope have to be bought
- 2 large scaffolding constructions must be rented
- 7 obstacles have to do with water
