What's it all about?

The Royal Marines from their nearby Commando Training Centre still use this world famous Endurance training course on Woodbury Common near Exeter to train new recruits - and once a year in October they uniquely allow members of the public to find out first hand just what its like to take on such obstacles as "Peter's Pool", "The Sheep Dip" and the "Crocodile Pit" - whilst at the same time raising funds for our charities. Why not see some of the 100's of photos in our Facebook page or play the clip on our Home page.

So - if you have GRIT and DETERMINATION and a terrific sense of humour and want to take on this famous training course then this is the charity event for you - and dont forget that 'getting down and dirty' is par for the course?

Tips

Let us know approx what time you would like to start - bearing in mind the 4k FUN is now only available on Saturday morning. HOWEVER - spaces on Saturday are strictly limited and offered on a first-come basis.
What to wear is a question we get asked a lot - so pop off to your local Army Surplus and get yourself some old boots, denim trousers and long sleeve shirt for about £15 and you're sorted. You can then take them home post-event and give them a scrub - or alternatively chuck them in one of our skips and we can dispose of them.
Don't leave it too long to enter - we usually sell out each year as there is a strict 'cap' on the numbers allowed to use this world famous training course.
COST is £29 per person. Dont forget this is first and foremost a charity event and has a minimum sponsorship of £60 per person (but we hope you will raise more!!) to help our nominated charities.
