The great thing about obstacle course racing is you can do it at any speed you like; run, walk, jog or even skip!
There is one obstacle, the Water Dash, which will be across water. If you fall in there will be a short swim to the exit, with a rope to hold on to. However, you can go round any obstacle.
You MUST bring yourself, trainers with suitable clothing for the race and your ticket confirmation. If you have used the local’s discount - then adults entering themselves or their kids need to bring copy of their proof of address (photo copy or phone picture of either an official letter or drivers licence with your local address on).
Aim to be there 60 mins before your race time.
