U.S.S.V. Simius Hircus
Since September 2012, Utrecht has its own survival run club with training course. The club was named U.S.S.V. Simius Hircus which started promoting the survival run for the students in Utrecht. The training location at Sportcentrum Olympos facilitates group trainings in preparation for the infamous survival runs. Since 2014, we organize our survival run as well covering the Uithof area.
Survival run is one of the fastest growing sports in the Netherlands. The survival run is an endurance sport which is a combination of running and tackling obstacles. Fitness, technique, strength, endurance en flexibility are all needed to participate in this challenging sport. Not only the obstacles, but a constant battle against the elements has to be taken into account. The circumstances of the terrain, the weather all play an important part in this sport.
It is possible to train two times a week. On Tuesday and Thursday from 7.00 - 9.00 PM the training is given by experiences trainers. A beginner trainer will always be present at these trainings to learn you the basic techniques. There are no obligations in our survival run club, but you can enjoy good times together. There are regular club nights at the Olympos café on every first Tuesday and third Thursday of the month. Furthermore, there are survival run-related activities on a regular basis and survival runs in the Netherlands to participate in.
