Group Obstacle Race (GOR)

The **Group Obstacle Race (GOR)**, also known as the **Snake Race**, is a high-tempo physical test of team spirit, coordination, and cooperative scaling.

• Group Cohesion: Ensuring the entire group finishes together. Abandoning members leads to immediate failure.
• Mutual Assistance: Lifting and securing teammates over high ramps or walls.
• Stamina & Attitude: Retaining cheerfulness and leadership attributes under exhaustion (Liveliness OLQ 12).

• Dual Channel Race: Groups race against each other in adjacent obstacle lines.
• The 'Snake': A heavy canvas cylinder stuffed with straw/sand that the group must carry collectively.
• 6 Obstacles: Ramp, Figure-8, Spider Web, Parallel Walls, Giant Slide, and 8-Foot Wall.
• Out-of-Bounds Ground: The snake must never touch the soil. Ground contacts trigger time penalties.

• Support the Weakest: Speed is determined by your slowest member. Spend energy lifting others, not just running ahead.
• Never Lay Snake Down: While waiting for members to scale, keep holding the snake aloft.
• Megaphone War Cries: Keep shouting the chant. It acts as an anchor for team synchronization.
• Follow Penalties: If the GTO calls a penalty (e.g. 3 mins static hold), accept it silently and execute it instantly with high discipline.
