Elite H&B Obstacle Challenge - 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!

Built as the ultimate pre-season experience for elite teams, this is not about individual glory. Your team must communicate and support each other under fatigue, exactly the traits that translate directly to better performance 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 5–7 km course, featuring over 60 challenging obstacles inspired by HELL & BACK and Ireland's Fittest Family.

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 for long after it is over!

Highlights

• 60+ demanding obstacles inspired by HELL & BACK and Ireland’s Fittest Family, designed to test grit, resilience and teamwork
• 5–7KM instructor-led outdoor course, combining endurance, strength and problem-solving under pressure
• Elite-level instructors leading your group, setting the tempo and pushing effort throughout, while keeping it engaging and enjoyable
