When: Next Challenge is Sat 3rd March 2012 - first wave start at 11am

Why: A fun challenge for all - This is not a regular cross country run be assured

The Runamuck Challenge is a cross country event over a wet and mucky course with various man made and natural obstacles like bale "jumps", net scrambles, super slides, tarzan swings, bridges, ditchs, streams, tyres and tunnels. It is designed to test your mental and physical strength, and to leave you with a great sense of achievement and a big grin on your face !

All obstacles are achievable but if you have any real difficulties then there are alternative routes available

Hopefully we will see you there for the original and the best "Down N Durty in the Country" experience !

Check out our TESTIMONIAL section to see what previous participants said about the inaugural March Event

The Charity selected by the organisers to benefit from a donation from the Runamuck Autumn Challenge 2010 is Friends In Ireland who are working to alleviate the suffering caused by HIV / Aids on the people, particularly the children, of South Africa.

You are of course welcome to use the Runamuck Autumn Challenge event to raise money and awareness to any charity you choose and there is no fundraising obligation for any participant.

In all Runamuck Events we use a chip timing system (Red Tag Timing) along with bigger and more obstacles - All this should allow smaller numbers in multiple wave starts and mimimise queueing at obstacles.

Catering at the venue is at reasonable cost from the Last Lap Crew before and after the event (Hot and cold Drinks & snacks) plus we will have local burgers available.

Prizegiving will take place in the nearby Hamlet Court Hotel at 3.00 pm where lunch specials will be available for all hungry Runamuckers.

First set of photos from March 2010 event are available here from Adrian Hogan.

More photos now up on the events section of the www.ActionPhotography.ie site - Direct link to their Galleries HERE

Many thanks to John and Adrian for their great shooting.

These photos are all FREE to view and Download.

If you want prints at very reasonable cost then contact the photographer directly for these.
