Due to unprecedenteddemand, the Saturday event (11th June) is now fully booked with participants from all over the country eager to take on once more HELL & BACK’s gruelling 13KM and 8KM routes!
But, due to this phenomenal interest, an extra date of Sunday 12th June has been added so BOOK NOW!
HELL & BACK, Ireland’s Toughest Mental & Physical Endurance Challenge, is back after an almost 3-year hiatus (we all know why!). With many of us making way better friends with our sofas over the last while, now’s the time to get out there, get active, meet new people and set yourself a real challenge, while having a great time, all in the safety of the great outdoors!
As well as beingthe country’s largest and most popular obstacle course adventure run, HELL & BACK is also home to Ireland’s Fittest Family TV show – with everything taking place in Co. Wicklow, where event organiser Alive Outside is based.
For one weekend in June, the spectacular surrounds of Killruddery Estate in Bray are converted into an adventure playground, specifically designed and created by award-winning outdoor specialists to push your physical and mental boundaries to the limit. Participants (or more aptly HellRaisers!) must complete a 8-13KM trail route, crossing rivers and lakes, climbing hills and mountains and crawling through bogs and swamps. The course combines a variety of man-made obstacles with Killruddery’s famous natural terrain, encompassing magnificent views of Dublin Bay from the Little Sugar Loaf Mountain.
To survive the course, you must conquer all the elements thrown at you, whether that is the gruelling natural environment or more than one hundred infamous man-made obstacles, including the Water Jump, Splashdown Slide, Hell on Earth, Sniper Alley, Satan’s Pit, Ice Baths, 10 Foot Tessie, Devil’s Creek…and new for June 2022, Heartbreak Ridge!
“We are beyond excited that HELL & BACK is back this June” says Aidan Walsh, Director of Operations. “Since our last event in October 2019 and throughout lockdown, we have been working on and developing new obstacles – and so are chomping at the bit to let Hell Raisers this June back onto, what is beyond doubt, the best course we have ever created!”
