Each category features distinct scoring systems and classifications, with separate podiums for civilian and TNI/Polri participants, allowing individuals to choose based on their preferences and abilities.
Colonel Infanteri Eka Wira Dharmawan, the event's organizing committee head, described Primarox as a symbol of sportsmanship and a space for unity among civilians, TNI, and Polri. "We present Primarox as a space to bring people together through sports. The challenges are designed to test physical and mental capabilities, but the core spirit is sportsmanship, the courage to try, and togetherness," Eka stated. Beyond the physical tests, the race promises a unique blend of athletic competition and military experience, offering participants a memorable and engaging event.
The substantial prize pool of Rp500 million is intended as a form of appreciation and an additional motivator for participants across all divisions and categories.
