STRONG VIKING'S WATER EDITIONS
Vikings were known as the rulers of the sea: no water was too deep, no ocean too vast! During the Strong Viking Water Editions, you can experience that legendary feeling for yourself. Challenge yourself and conquer the most spectacular water obstacles: from the heart-stopping Fjord Drop and Flying Ragnar to the ice-cold The Iceman and the brutal Water Hill — and many more! Are you ready to test your limits and embrace the Viking spirit?
We no longer differentiate between Water Edition and Mud Edition in our communication, but the obstacles do vary by season. In the spring, you’ll challenge yourself with muddy obstacles during the Mud Run, while the water edition in summer will surprise you with spectacular water obstacles. In short: whether you’re diving into mud or water, each edition offers a unique challenge you won’t want to miss!
