Event overview
Nuclear Fallout is a winter obstacle-course event held at the Nuclear Essex site. The course runs over farmland and woodland and includes lakes, bogs and muddy terrain. Obstacles are a mix of natural and man-made features and include notable elements such as a 20-foot Deathslide, a Travelator and a 15-lane zip-wire into water. Races are chip-timed and every finisher receives a medal. For some race options there are no penalties for skipping obstacles and participants may walk, crawl or run at their own pace.
