How many of these things are there? Getting popular I would guess.
This one, the Spartan one, urbanatholon, I fancy the baby version ones, but can't take running at the moment so it would have to be in the future.

Sounds like a giggle although no combat session in there. Any who make it to the end get to do 3 rounds with local Muay Thai school's students?

Awesome! smile

My team of ten completed it in under 90mins, a couple of the boys suffered calf strain with two Kilometers to go & one of them had his knees destroyed on the Spiders Web (a horizontal cargo net).
I reckon I could nudge 60mins with a smaller crack team starting in an earlier wave with a green course - the Total Warrior nailed it in 48 minutes :|

A third of the obstacles are slightly Mickey Mouse but most of them were better than expected, Worm Muncher & Muddy Funster were properly good fun!
The run between obstacles was also a good challenge thanks to the topography of the Lake District, plus it was lashing it down & bloody freezing!

All in all, absolutely mega & well organised, I'll be returning next year.

Hell in the middle sounds just the ticket chap, I regularly fall off my mountain bike around the corner from its location!
My next event should be the Spartan Race in the Midlands in October, I ultimately want to give Tough Guy a crack at some point though... smile

Hell Up North for me.I'd like to give Tough Guy a crack but it doesn't fall at a convenient time of the year really.That Spartan Race looks like fun,if you're

a masochist!
