Elite H&B Obstacle Challenge (7-10KM) - Age 16+ Sports Club  

Push the Limits. Build the Team. Enjoy the Battle.

If you are looking for a high-intensity, no-nonsense team-building challenge that delivers a serious workout while still being great craic, you've come to the right place!

Designed as the ultimate pre-season experience for elite teams, this challenge is not about individual glory. Your squad must communicate and support each other and perform under fatigue, exactly the traits that transfer directly to stronger performances on the pitch, court or track.

Set on the stunning 800-acre Killruddery Estate, your squad will be led by one of our expert instructors through a demanding 7-10KM course, featuring over 60 challenging obstacles inspired by HELL & BACK and Ireland's Fittest Family. Along the way, teams will also face a numebr of exclusive competitive challenges designed to raise intensity and ignite rivalry.

The results are simple: sharper communication, stronger trust and a shared experience that forges real connection. Tough, rewarding and memorable, this is a session your team will feel in their legs and talk about long after it's over!
