This 12km event held on the stunning grounds of Lowther Castle in the Lake District National Park is set to be the toughest Born Survivor course ever to be made. 35+ obstacles spread over 12km of undulating terrain that will see participants tackling breathtaking slides, cold water obstacles, climbing nets, underground tunnels, walls to scale, and the final Big Wall Finisher, The Blitz.
