The Royal Marines are one of our clients. And so what better way to raise a bit of money for charity than doing the 10K Commando Challenge assault course around the very same course the Royal Marines complete prior to entry. It’s a rugged cross-country run through Exmouth, interspersed with river crossings, numerous cramped, pitch-black, claustrophobia inducing tunnels and the infamous Sheep Dip, a concrete tube fully submerged under water.
It was a gruelling, punishing race. Not least because many of the team were suffering from the night before. Not to mention Martin “3.3″ Hearns, so called because he hadn’t ran farther than 3.3km during his intensive race preparation.
Here are a few of the highlights:
- We managed to raise nearly £1,000 for charity
- We came 17th out of 300 teams!!
- We drank the hotel out of Sambuca the night before the race
- No one died
