TIME TRIAL TWO: RULE THE RUNWAY: In a test of power and endurance Rule the Runway stats with a 500-meter sprint, then the family must pull a 2 tonne plane back 350m, the clock stops when the front wheel of the plane is over the line.
The bottom two families from each time trial face off against the opposing bottom two families in two eliminators in Sligo Airport.
ELIMINATOR:The eliminator starts with a sprint to the reverse crawl ice baths, then it’s a scramble through a cargo net crawl onto the runway where they face a series of over and unders. An inverted wall stands in their way, then it’s onto a 10-foot wall and ending on the Ireland’s Fittest Family signature ramps. One family in each eliminator is eliminated
At the end of episodes 2 & 3, 8 families remain in the competition and progress to the quarter finals in Hell & Back.
