Ep 2
Taking place in the rugged Gormanston Army camp, the Heats will unfold over three weeks. Each week one of our OG coaches will go head-to head with a new coach. This week it’s the turn of rugby stars Donncha O’Callaghan and Andrew Trimble – each with two families each.
Donncha has the HICKEY family from DUBLIN and the LINEHAN family from CORK.
Andrew has the McKENNA family from MONAGHAN, and the HILLIARD family from KILDARE
All battling it out for one of the three places up for grabs in the next round of the competition at Hell and Back.
For the first time this year the events are demonstrated by members of the Irish Defence Forces.
The families must each take on a new event, BOX TO THE TOP. Starting in the cold sea, this is a head-to-head race along an army training ground with kit-boxes and sandbags to carry along the course.
The four families then have their stamina tested by IN BITS. The four family members will race against time to each complete an exhausting leg of a obstacle course set in an Army trench dig-out – before dragging their piece of a giant IFF logo jigsaw to the centre of course.
With the scores of the first two events are combined, the two highest-scoring families go through to the next round, and the two families at the bottom have to face off in our Army Eliminator.
