There are no swimming or water obstacles for this winter event, though participants will encounter mud and wet terrain.
Distances offered:
- 7KM one lap - social lap later in the day
- 14KM two laps
- 21KM three laps (half marathon distance)
All finishers receive an exclusive Hell & Back Winter Warrior medal and there are food and drink options in Hell’s Kitchen Food Village at the event. The event is open to participants aged 16 and over; 16 and 17 year olds require a parental or guardian consent form. Trail running shoes or astro boots are recommended, studs and spikes are not permitted, and duct tape or cable ties must not be used on footwear.
