The Majura Range Course course is approximately 6km – A Fun, Achievable Challenge 

  • Go at your own pace – Whether you want to walk, jog, or run, it’s up to you; but there is a prize for the best time. 
  • Know what to expect – You’ll get a description of the obstacles at the event, but be prepared to test your endurance, agility, balance, and coordination as well as teamwork and mental resilience.  You will get wet and dirty: be prepared to climb under and over obstacles, lift and carry weights, and of course run/jump/jog/walk around the course.
