Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters 'obstacle course' clip

Logan Lerman is back in action as the demigod hero.

Being a demigod doesn't mean you can just sit around telling mere mortals what to do, there is some training involved to keep in trim - as you can see from this new clip from 'Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters'.

Enter this spinning, fairground ride-meets-assault course thingamajig at Camp Half-Blood, a kind of godly version of 'Total Wipeout', but without the grace of a soft, watery landing.

Cranking up his rivalry with Clarisse, the demigod daughter of the Greek god of war Ares (with a dad like that, you're going to be competitive), the pair go head-to-head.

It is, of course, all a decent work out for the task ahead.

In the sequel to 'Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief', taken from the second of author Rick Riordan's novels, Percy and his powerful chums are tasked with finding the fabled Golden Fleece, found at the Sea of Monsters, in order to save the magic tree at Camp Half-Blood which protects them all.

Sounds pretty straight-forward.

Logan Lerman reprises his role as Percy, alongside Brandon T. Jackson as Grover, Alexandra Daddario as Annabeth and Jake Abel as Luke.

Heading up the grown-up cast are 'The Hunger Games' star Stanley Tucci as Dionysus, Sean Bean as Zeus and Anthony Head as the centaur Chiron.

Percy is also introduced to his half-brother, the cyclops Tyson, played by Douglas Smith.

'Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters' is out on August 7.
