The inaugural event was held in the grounds of Wylands Angling Centre, Battle, on Sunday, February 10.

The obstacle filled 5km route saw the challengers take on a log crawl, double sea saw, cargo and scrabble nets and much more. St Michael’s hospice community fundraiser, Tracey Bull-Morritt says challengers embraced boggy and muddy conditions as they made their way around the course. “Thank you to everyone who took part in the event,” she said. “We had a fantastic time and we were so impressed with the commitment showed by you all despite the weather!”
