Born Survivor is back for 2026 at Capesthorne Hall! After last year’s epic run it was time to take on the full obstacle course once again. From the many, many mud trenches to the infamous Para Plunge and Dunker Drill, this course pushed everyone to their limits.
We ran in the final wave at 1pm – and it was still a very busy wave! But this meant the course was SO churned up (you just need to look at the first image and you will see what I mean!)
Great milatry style warm up and a ton of obstacles that tests everyones limits – whether thats strength, balance, agility or just heights!
A massive shoutout to the amazing OCR community out there—as you can see, nobody gets left behind in the mud!
I ran both in the 361 Futura 2
