Challenge yourself through a 5km or 10km obstacle course that will push you to the limit. You will crawl through mud, climb cargo nets, and race down slippery slides. It's not about winning - it's about having fun with your mates, and helping each other get to the finish.
Choose to raise funds for ReachOut.com and make a real difference in the lives of young people.

Make it a crowd!
Download the poster to promote this event in your office, favourite cafe, local school or library, playgroup, gym or running club, etc! Running with friends (old and new), family and colleagues is fun and will help to keep you motivated on those days when you feel like sitting on the couch instead of going for a run...
