THE OBSTACLES @ bury st edmunds
We have 30 obstacles - ranging in size & shape - over a 1km long course…
HURDLES
Three wooden hurdles spread over 50m that get progressively taller & harder!
THE SLIDE
Once you’ve scaled a wooden ramp, prepare to launch yourself down a MASSIVE metal slide… and if it’s been raining, prepare to make a splash!
4FT WALL MOUND
Jump or climb (depending on your height) the first 4ft wall, run across the 25m-long mound before dropping down off the second 4ft wall!
DANIEL BEDINGFIELD
Because ‘you gotta get thru this’ obstacle! Sorry, ‘Dad Joke’!
ROPE WALL
You’ve got 3 options here - a bit tricky, medium tricky, & extra tricky! Either way, you’ll find yourself 15ft in the air with a sloping wooden ladder wall to descend!
6FT WALL
It’s a wall. It’s 6ft tall!
7FT LADDER WALL
The walls get progressively taller around the course, so technique & grip are paramount!
CARGO NET A-FRAME
A combination of coordination & confidence will see you over this 16ft high obstacle!
8FT WALL
They’re getting taller!
LOG LEAPS
Picking those feet up = heart rate up!
CARGO NET CRAWL
Head down, bum up, crawl for your life… well, 25m at least!
VERTICAL CARGO NET
15ft up, touch yellow strap, 15ft down - what could be simpler?!
IRISH TABLE
Left hand side is the easiest (foot-holds & hand-holds), right hand side is the hardest (neither!). You’re then 50% complete - just an 8ft drop to go!
10FT WALL
Our tallest wall! You have the choice of wooden steps to help you down…or gravity!
IRISH BAR
It’s harder than it looks!
HANGOVER WALL
Two choices of wall, one correct choice of technique*
*The one shown here isn’t it!!!
TRAVERSE WALL
Two sides, same story - grip, grip, grip!
MUDDY DITCHES!
It’s the same mud you get at a health spa, so expect to wake up the next day looking 10 years younger… also expect to wake up the next day with some of it still lurking on parts of your body!
‘THE BIG GUY’ - MONKEY BARS
Named after The Big Guy (aka Daddio, Grandy, Maurice) who built them! These Incline/Decline monkey bars look like they’re made out of roof trusses from a house… that’s because they are!
ROPE CLIMB
16ft vertical climb! This one is all about technique!
ZIG ZAG BALANCE BEAMS
Not as easy as they look!
THE BOX
Back-flips are optional!
THE RAMP - 8FT & 12FT
This Ninja Warrior-style obstacle is a firm-favourite, and is weirdly addictive!
OVER & UNDERS
Over, under, over, then accelerate…
INVERTED WALL
… and attack this sloped wall, dropping off the top, before launching towards…
8FT LADDER WALLS
… this 7ft high wooden structure, carefully descending and then attacking…
MINI DANIEL BEDINGFIELD
… feet-first through Mini DB, keeping that momentum until…
MONKEY BARS
… this, the obstacle where the race can be won or lost - 10m of monkey bars, suspended nearly 3m in the air! Once you’ve touched the last bar, it’s…
RING THE BELL!
… a sprint to the bell! Winner takes all the glory!
