Contestants will be faced with a mixture of both natural and man-made obstacles inspired by Malta’s marvelous history and the great knights that once inhabited this island.

Expect a dynamic, multi-terrained, rollercoaster of a track that the couch potato can conquer but the seasoned athlete will still find challenging.

This is going to be one hell of a race… and it’s made for you!

HTF acknowledges that everyone is at different levels in their fitness game but that doesn’t make them less competitive than anyone else.

That’s why they’re offering three different categories; The Elite, The Enthusiast and The Open, each catering to a specific niche of fitness enthusiasts.

Those looking to break records will fit in nicely with The Elite. Others who want to challenge themselves and set some personal goals will thrive in The Enthusiasts. But if you’re in it for the fun, The Open is for you. 

But above all that, HTF is also offering you the opportunity to join the island’s health and fitness community… because that’s what truly matters when the line is crossed and you’re looking for the next challenge.

From offering nutritional advice and training tips before the big event in May 2020, HTF community wants you to be prepared as much as possible, no matter your skillset and no matter what fitness level you are at.

Hold The Fort has even got the backing of nine top-tier athletes to lead the way

Alan Curmi, Duncan Abdilla, Simona Skripkaite Ledesma, Neil Falzon, Tara Abdilla, Wojtek Stellmach, Yasmin McGahren, Clinton Schembri Francalanza and David Smith Cordina will all be present in this new fitness-focused community to make sure you’re well prepared for the latest, greatest OCR on the island… and then more!

This is more than just a race.

HTF has teamed up with Eurosport, Garmin and local gyms around the islands in order to provide tailored training sessions that will get you in tip-top shape for an OCR, as well as key habits and practices outside the training room that will prepare both your body and mind to conquer life and its challenges.

Why? Because there’s no better feeling than being part of a community.

You’ll train with like-minded athletes and push each other to be better both with the iron and with life. You’re bound to find someone who’s in the same shoes as you at one of their HTF approved gyms.

Committing to HTF means committing to a better, healthier lifestyle.

And once you’ve had a taste of it, you won’t want to go back. There’s no better time to start than now… and HTF is just the beginning of your journey.
