Obstacle racing is similar to military training; for instance, training a soldier to endure harsh conditions on a battlefield, where food and water will be more limited to train one’s stomach to do with less. Winning such races, holistic training will be effective with one aiming to work on their physical and mental abilities. One will need to know exactly what the races will involve as it helps them prepare better. Training is very essential to every activity one will undertake on the field. It helps participants know what things they will be required to do.

Instructions will be very necessary as they determine whether one will win or not; especially participants who will cover dangerous areas with wild animals or natural phenomena, this can keep them safe or expose them to danger. Ability to read maps can be helpful for those covering unknown grounds like adventure escapades. Swimming and other activities will also help one overcome some hurdles. The most important is to be open-minded as it helps one prepare mentally.
