Teams / pairs

Leave no one behind as you work together to complete this epic journey! This is the Military way and the Born Survivor ethos. Buddies stick together….especially in our mud!

Teams encouraged

Everybody finishes

If you dare take on this adventure you’ll need a stiff upper lip to conquer the challenge alone. Teamwork is encouraged and even if you don’t enter as a team you’ll assist your fellow Survivors in completing the course. But it’s not a race; it’s designed as a challenge for everyone over the age of 16 to tackle at their pace, whatever their ability.

We took it at our own pace, and just had fun, the sense of achievement is like nothing else I've experienced.

Yesterday was my third Born Survivor... I can honestly say it's one of my favourite things to do ever. Nicola Brough

Own pace for fun

An amazing experience with epic obstacles and lots of mud amd laughter along the way. Brilliant marshals throughout the course. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a challenge or team bonding activity. Deborah Jackson

Fantastic, challenging and rewarding was to spend a Saturday morning surrounded by like minded people all with the same goal. Matthew Burton

I have taken part in both Born Survivors... Both events were well organised, all staff were friendly and helpful. The courses were fantastic, lots of mud, water, challenging obstacles!!! But most of all everyone had fun, helped and encouraged those that struggled, a really fabulous team event!! Alice Coxhead

Born survivor was something else. It was probably the most challenging thing I’ve ever done but so rewarding and satisfying at the same time. It’s something for everyone to push themselves to there own limits. Ben Cole

Really good, great atmosphere, attending this event at least once is a must. Wot Wud U Do
