Ireland's toughest Physical & Mental challenge

Dare to take on HELL & BACK, Ireland’s ultimate test of grit and resilience!

 

Crafted by our elite team of outdoor aficionados, this is not any auld challenge - it’s an epic showdown designed to stretch your limits in both body and mind.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Killruddery Estate, this 8KM adventure takes place in early autumn where you'll be treated to spectacular views of Dublin Bay from the heights of Little Sugar Loaf mountain.

What to wear

FEET
• Trial runners are best (better grip in muddy conditions)
• Astro boots also work well
• We strongly advise you do not wear normal runners or any other footwear, as the reduced grip will increase your risk of injury
• Studs, cleats, blades & spikes are NOT PERMITTED

HANDS
• Fingerless cycling gloves are best, full finger gloves will get water logged

UPPER BODY
• Base Layer – compression top
• Top Layer – Technical t-shirt (optional)
• Wear long sleeves to help protect your arms at crawl obstacles
• Avoid cotton materials!!

LEGS
• Compression leggings are recommended to help protect legs when crawling.
• Avoid flimsy material that may rip or tear.

REMEMBER
Duct Tape, Electrical Tape & Cable Ties are not allowed on your shoes as they come off too easily and thus become a danger to the livestock on the farm. Make sure you TRIPLE KNOT your laces instead.
