A challenge like no other
Think of the toughest thing you've ever done in your life. Now think of the most thrilling thing you've ever done in your life. Now combine the two, and multiply them by 10 – that, in a nutshell, is what Devils Circuit really is!
An adrenaline rush like no other, the Devils Circuit obstacle race is easily a once-in-a-lifetime experience for every single participant. Fighting against nature's elements, some impossible terrain, several ridiculous barriers as well as your inner demons and doubts, the race tests your endurance powers to the fullest, leaving you with a deep sense of accomplishment once you complete it.
It's no wonder fitness enthusiasts and adrenaline junkies are lining up by the dozens to participate in it!
'Inclusiveness' is the buzzword
Devils Circuit is truly unique not just because of the nature of the track, but also because it's free of restrictions. Anyone who is an adult can participate, whether they are 20 or 80. There are no holds, no barriers. Anyone who wants to be fit and challenge themselves to the hilt, is welcome to participate in DC!
Devils Circuit prides itself on inclusiveness. A 65-year-old grandfather has been known to match times at DC with those much younger than him – proving that age is all in the mind, and not really something you should think about too much. Gender is no bar either; there is a large female demographic at DC.
In fact, the event was co-founded by Zeba Zaidi Adeeb, who is herself a fitness enthusiast in addition to being a successful businesswoman.
Devils Circuit is one of the most inclusive group fitness activities you will ever see. So far, it has played host to 35% women, and participants ranging from as young as 18 to as young-at-heart as 70!
Where can you register for the race?
The next Devils Circuit race is in Hyderabad on 11th October, which means time is running out to confirm your participation! Registration is simple and quick to do; the form for the same can be accessed here.
The big question: how tough is it, really?
It goes without saying that Devils Circuit is not a walk in the park. “I didn't expect how taxing it was,” says one participant. It's free for everyone and thoroughly exciting, but also the toughest challenge you can possibly ask for!
It isn't easy even for the super-fit; hardcore marathoners find Devils Circuit incredibly difficult to complete too. “I've completed a few full marathons, a few half, I've even done a few obstacle runs as well, but Devils Circuit was by far the toughest race I've ever done in my life,” said experienced marathoner Aubhro Mukherjee, who was part of the event last year.
The combination of the elements – the cold water, the heights, the jumping, the rate of progress, it was great. The quality of the obstacles was phenomenal,” he added.
There's the mental aspect to it too. When you're out there on the track, fighting through all those insane obstacles, it's hard not to be dogged by self-doubt and fear. Overcoming those inner struggles can be just as daunting as getting past the physical barriers – you need true grit and determination to get through it!
There's no question that the Devils Circuit is an extraordinary challenge. But it also gives participants the chance to prove their mettle to the whole world – an extraordinary challenge can only be taken up by an extraordinary individual.
When you participate in the Devils Circuit, you GIVE ORDINARY A BREAK!
An event to motivate you for life
A Devils Circuit aspirant is typically a sucker for fitness and healthy living. And these daredevil runners are also pretty high on life!
Participant Manik Dhodi is not only a savvy corporate professional but also a passionate fitness enthusiast. “It's the perfect opportunity to do a healthy activity,” he says, “and at the same time, enjoy the experience with a big bunch of like-minded people!”
Several competitors have even said Devils Circuit spurred them on to focus on fitness even more, and take up intensive programs. “The training for Devils Circuit was amazing, it was really hardcore,” said a participant. “I think after all this, it's inspired us to join crossfit.”
Share a life-changing experience with your friends
Running the Devils Circuit is a tremendously enriching group activity too. You can bring along your brother, sister, parent(s), significant other or your best friend, and share the unique experience with them.
Several participants join in with friends, family and with work colleagues, and Devils Circuit has special programmes for them too.
In the words of Barney Stinson, “Whatever you do in this life, it's not legendary, unless your friends are there to see it.” By participating in the Devils Circuit with your friends you not only get to experience a legendary moment, but you also ensure that your loved ones are there to see you live it!
An opportunity to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary
You don't have to be a runner on a track. You don't have to be a seasoned marathoner. You don't have to be a hardcore fitness guru.
If you run anywhere – whether it's on the street, on a football field, a cricket ground or just to catch your bus – Devils Circuit is for you. And if you still need more reasons to join in, which we don't think you do, there's free beer at the end for everyone!
All it needs is that little bit of motivation to get up, put on your running shoes and go for it!
