The Story Behind the Result
5K
15 August 2026
Lumberjacked
Climbing
This is the first time going round with a lot of people on the course….what a mess. Huge queue of people waiting to go over….skip.
Twinkle Toes
Balance
Again massive queue. I have no balance, and I’m not queuing. So….skip
Human Gecko
Hanging / grip
The crowds had died down, so quickly climbed round. Not hard, not really challenging.
Kiss of Mud
Crawling · Mud
Boy this has dried out since the first run. Mainly crawling through grave. Given it a low rating as I guess will be more fun when there is mud
Mud Mile
Mud
This was so dry, virtually no water or mud. Absolute carnage with people….skipped
The Block Ness Monster
Water
Love it! Approaching it was running with an ambassador, and we discussing how everyone was failing because of lack of team work. We organised people, and got it going again 💪
Electric Eel
Electrical
Again, people everywhere so wasn’t going to queue to get electrocuted again. Did it the first time through and it was ok, not hard, but not enjoyable.
Mudderhorn
Climbing
Same volunteer as the first time round gave me a leg up. Great guy, hopefully meet him and his wife at Manchester and Worlds next year
Pyramid Scheme
Climbing
Don’t see the point of this one. It isn’t hard, just requires a bit of queuing and waiting for someone to give you a leg up
Hangin’ Tough
Hanging / grip
Failed first time, decide again not to bother this time due to the amount of people and crowds
Electroshock Therapy
Electrical
Well I ran through, didn’t get electrocuted. The cables are too far apart. It’s easy to avoid being shocked.
