Ghana's first obstacle course race set for Saturday

The maiden edition of the Ascent, a 5-Kilometer long Obstacle Course race with over 30 obstacles to cross is scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 23, at the Teshie Military Academy & Training School in Accra.

The competition which happens to be the first of its kind in the country would witness an intense physical and mental challenge from participants.

It is expected to be a fun experience inspired by the world-renowned Warrior's Race such as the Spartan and tough mudder race among others.
