Platoon Malta

Welcome to PLATOON

Platoon was launched in September 2021 by Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) and trail athlete Duncan Barry. Platoon’s inception came about as a result of his passion for the military coupled with his determination to participate in various sport disciplines.

The most popular are Platoon’s Black Hawk Sundays held at Riviera Martinique, which comprises of trail runs, beach military style workouts and wading through shallow water.

Platoon participates in various OCR and trail races including the Grid, Gridlock, Gridsprint, Ninja Warrior, Tough Mudder, among others. The importance of all our services is to instil a sense of teamwork among participants, be they fitness enthusiasts or company employees seeking team building activities.

Duncan also served in the Armed Forces of Malta as a Volunteer Reserve Force (VRF) member in ‘B’ Company. Platoon organises fun-filled military inspired team building events for small, medium and big gun companies. Read more about our services below:

Platoon Family First Workouts

As we enter the winter season and school kicks off, families with children end up more stressed than usual due to an increase in work and home-related commitments. Family bonding time unfortunately decreases as parents try to strike a balance between family and work.

Platoon organises family bonding fitness sessions; all the family can work out together in a fun outdoor environment while adhering to Public Health COVID rules of course. We also organise obstacle course sessions at our OCR field partners.

Team Building

Platoon is a military based concept with a mission: to bring about a sense of teamwork between company employees who can support each other in Platoon’s activities, ranging from navigating obstacles in an assault course to cliff-hanging, abseiling, ‘war’ games and last but not least a ride out on military style dinghies to boost the military experience.

So live the military life for a day – from trying out obstacles in an ‘assault’ course like Navy Seals do, such as low and high walls, crawling under and climbing up cargo nets, trying out your balancing skills and hanging techniques by walking on a long wooden plank, shimmying a rope and monkey bars, among other challenging acts, to abseiling, trail running uphill and downhill and going aboard RIBS.
