Nuclear Rush
Nuclear Rush is an obstacle course racing event held at the Secret Nuclear Bunker Estate in Brentwood, Essex. The permanent course is set across diverse terrain, including muddy farmland, woodlands, rivers, and lakes. Participants encounter a variety of natural and man-made obstacles, with no penalties enforced for skipping individual challenges.
The event offers several distances and categories:

- Rush Family (1.5 km or 4 km): Dedicated waves for groups to complete obstacles together, including the deathslide on the longer course.
Signature features of the course include a 20-foot Deathslide, a Travelator, and a 15-lane zip-wire into water. All participants are chip-timed, and the venue provides facilities such as a free car park, bag drop, changing areas, and hot washdowns after the race. Buoyancy aids are available for water-based obstacles. An event village on-site offers music, food, and drink for spectators and participants.
