Events:
All Tyred Out
All Tyred Out is a head-to-head relay race that requires speed, agility and endurance.
This leg burning event begins with all four family members on the starting straw bale.
Each family member must run up the hill through a series of tyre obstacles, and tackle the overs, unders and crawls.
Then they must climb over a 2 metre tyre wall, before sprinting back to the finishing bale to release their next family member.
When all family members have completed the run, they must sprint together to the top of the hill. The clock stops when all family members cross the finish line. The first family across the line takes top points in All Tyred Out.
Hanging Tough
Hanging tough is a test of will power and endurance. The clock starts when the families’ feet leave the ground. Each family member must hang over 6 meters, or 20ft, above the freezing water for as long as they possibly can. But remember, this isn’t about the last person up there. Times of the four family members will be combined, so every second counts.
Grand Final
Our families face an extremely tough Grand Final at Hell and Back.
It starts with each family jumping off straw bales, and then they must sprint through the forest, where they pick up a log and run a further 200 metres together, before dropping the log, and tackling a torturous array of walls and obstacles that will push them right to the limit.
If that isn’t enough, the ice cold plunge bath awaits. Once they are through that, they face our tunnels, which are ascending so extra tough.
Finally the dreaded Fittest Family ramp awaits.
The first family to the top of the ramp win the competition and 10k euro for their charity.
