This is the Ultimate Team Mission for 2024 and one certainly worthy of the awesome medal that will be pinned on your chest after completing this glorious raid! Test your physical/mental resolve and in doing so forge a team camaraderie that can only be truly replicated in a Military inspired environment.

Click for more info on the Born Survivor website.

This course is designed by Elite Royal Marine Commandos and features 30 Awesome Military Grade Obstacles incorporating a 10km Classic Course, 10km Elite Squadron competitive wave and a 5km Survivor option!

The course is guaranteed to take you on the ultimate adventure as you negotiate breath taking slides, cold water obstacles, climbing nets, underground tunnels such as The Great Escape, climbing walls and other Top Secret Obstacles, not forgetting the infamous Big Wall Finisher….THE BLITZ!

Celebrate your victory afterwards and enjoy some top quality food before heading to our awesome Survivor Stripes Bar to enjoy the after party.
