To start a 5 race just speak to a person at a booth. However, to RS gold start a one on one race, then you have to right-click some 1 ONLY from the sign upbuilding. Then click the option: obstacle (insert name) If the challenge is accepted the race immediately starts. Now for the racing itself: At the Rush: 5 Race and one-on-one are the same, except that the number of people. There are 5 lanes to get a 5 race along with two lanes to get ONe on One races, so you may only stay in your lane to prevent people from following different racers!
It is recommended you maintain run on all through the race. . .or you'll lose. After the whistle is blown, start running to your very first obstacle, the YES barrier. This is the area where agility and strength come in. There are many obstacles, and whether your endurance and strength are LVL 1-99, you can always try these obstacles. However if your LVL 1 on every skill there's almost no chance you will even make it on the end. Bear in mind, the higher the skill the easier you will do. If you fail an obstruction you get slowed down. Likewise, some obstacles may hurt you if failed. If you lose all your health, you faint and wake up in the medical building.
Let's see the barriers, shall we? Obstacles are arranged by number, if an obstruction is number 1, it's the very first obstacle you encounter. I will also tell you what skill it requires and what happens in the event that you fail: Hurdle jump- you jump over 3 hurdles-requires agility-if you neglect, then on the 3rd hurdle you may fall, slowing you down. Rope Swing- you swing on a rope over a pool of mud- requires agility-if you fail you do a belly-flop into the mud, then you continue.
Wall scale - You grab a rope dangling from a high wall and climb over the wall- agility, and strength- if you fail you lose your grip and fall back to the ground in which you could possibly take 2 damage-you will also need to restart the wall. Metal Ball-You must get a heavy metal ball and haul it over into a switch and place it on the switch which will open a door so you may continue- requires durability - if you fail you may drop the metallic ball, where it will land in your characters foot, making him leap about holding his foot after that pick up the ball and OSRS buy gold continue.
