One of few independent obstacle races I have run in 2021, Overload Obstacle run was a really enjoyable race. The 5km lap was full of fun, challenging and downright muddy obstacles, whilst you have the ability to run as many laps as you can fit in within the time limit all at no extra cost! Check out the Youtube video, I managed to capture all the obstacles on a really bright and sunny day in Ashbourne, Derbyshire.
