Albatross Athletic Warrior (sometimes abbreviated as AAW) is an Zamastanian sports entertainment reality show which features a set of obstacle courses in various cities, which contestants attempt to conquer.

The contestant who finishes all the courses in the fastest time wins a cash prize of ℤ1,000,000. The show is currently hosted by footballers Ashraf Noori and Isaiah Ross.
The series premiered in 2009 on CTC Sports.
Format
Contestants
Before being eligible to compete, all contestants must first meet several requirements. There is no maximum age limit, but the minimum age is 16. Contestants must fill out a 20-question questionnaire and make a video about themselves which would be displayed on the show before their runs. Video length requirements have varied from two to eight minutes, depending on the season. (currently two to three minutes). Some of the contestants may be given more screen time, with full run and background shown; other runs may be shown briefly or edited out of the episode. Producers have stated that screen time is divided between athletes based on their performance, story originality, and the amount of competitions they have already participated in before.
Obstacles
The episode's obstacles are designed and produced five months prior to an episode taping, usually from fall to winter. They share similar visual appearance and colors: the red or blue plastic inserts are installed into suspensory metal constructions and mark the pathway through the obstacle. A pool of water is located beneath every obstacle. If a competitor touches water at any time, his run ends. The producers may make adjustments to the obstacles to change its difficulty between competitions, but not during opened events. The competitors do not see and have no option to practice on the obstacle courses before their run, but are given instructions on the approach to them. By and large, the goal is to make 10 to 15% of competitors complete a single obstacle course.
