Commando Challenge Team

With breakfast and lunch thrown in what more could you ask for - apart from a day supporting the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund and having a great time with the participants at the 3rd Annual 17k ENDURANCE Commando Challenge!!!

You will arrive at the venue (Commando Training Centre Lympstone) at approx 7am for breakfast and a welcome briefing by the Organiser - followed by a safety briefing and introduction to your Manager who will explain exactly what your role will be - but what ever it is it will be fun.

You could be at the Start and Finish or on Woodbury Common in the thick of things - and all to ensure the runners are safe and have a great time - after al, they will all have raised a huge amount of money for the Royal Marines charity which helps injured and wounded Marines.

The Royal Marines Commando Challenge has been running (at least) annually since 1990 and has attracted almost 100,000 runners in that time and raised in excess of £2M for local and national good causes and charities. This is a long way from the humble beginnings when in 1990 100 ‘die hards’ entered the first ever event and raised £3,000. The event now regularly attracts 4,000 runners annually from all over the world and raises (at the two Challenges) over £400,000.

But with increased popularity comes increased demand by the participants for better quality event infrastructure – such as hot showers and full catering. All of this requires a high quality support mechanism particularly in the form of a reliable and very complicated electrical supply system.

The Commando Challenge are extremely pleased to welcome on-board IDE SYSTEMS who are working with us to sponsor and supply all our electrical power needs at the events. Without a doubt this will make all the difference to the event when the Event Director knows that when he turns on the power supply it will be there – be it mains or generated electricity.

Truly IDE SYSTEMS are helping to power the Commando Challenge
