    This will take place on Saturday 6th October 2012 -- 0900 - 1130 only.
    The Royal Marines from their nearby Commando Training Centre still use this world famous Endurance training course on Woodbury Common near Exeter to train new recruits - and once a year in October they uniquely allow members of the public to find out first hand just what its like to take on such obstacles as "Peter's Pool", "The Sheep Dip" and the "Crocodile Pit" - whilst at the same time raising funds for our charities.

    Therefore if you have GRIT and DETERMINATION and a terrific sense of humour and want to take on this famous training course then this is the charity event for you?

    4k Challenge Format

    Team warm-up approx 10mins prior to start time
    On completion travel back to Bicton Arena in military trucks

    Team consist of minimum of 3 members.
    Cost is £30 per person, as its a charity event you will need to raise a minimum of £60. Proceeds go towards Devon Air Ambulance Trust and C Group – supporting Royal Marines
