This one is for all the adventure junkies out there. The inaugural Red Bull Ibiza Royale, an utterly challenging yet entertaining four-day obstacle race through Ibiza Castle, Spain is coming up in April 2025, and you can be a part of it. (More Sports News)
♓As many as 250 mixed-pair teams from around the world will compete in the wild race, whose obstacles are designed by creators and Red Bull athletes. The course tests speed, strength, balance and reaction as teams run, jump and slide to the top.
🧔The application period for the race opened on January 8, 2025, and concludes on February 28. Starting April 11, the selected teams from over 50 countries will battle it out, and the top 10 teams will advance to the grand finale on April 13, with spectators cheering them on live.
✱Every obstacle is different, and designed by a different athlete or creator, like American adventure sports and fitness athlete Demi Bagby, obstacle course racing champion Ida Mathilde Steensgaard of Denmark, content creator David Jones of New Zealand and Spanish social media star Nil Ojeda, Canadian snowboarder Seb Toots (Sebastien Toutant), and parkour content creators Charles Poujade and Melanie Buffetaud.
🍸Two content creators from different countries, Germany’s Paul Frege and Switzerland’s Adrian ‘Aditotoro’ Vogt, are putting their heads together to design yet another obstacle, and professional esports player Arslan ‘ASH’ Siddique of Pakistan is responsible for his own unique obstacle for teams to take on.
🐷“I don’t think anyone has ever made obstacles like these before,” says Bagby. “But also, I love Step 1 of the application process, where people are calling their friends to find a teammate and get excited about doing something together. A cool trip with a friend to somewhere you’ve never been and taking on never-before-seen obstacles…this is the memory of a lifetime.”
