What you need to know

BORN SURVIVOR is a military assault course themed event, designed by former Royal Marines Commandos. You will have to overcome authentic military grade obstacles, special ‘survivor surprises’, muscle draining mud, rugged terrain and your own self-doubt to become a SURVIVOR.

Born Survivor is not a race. It’s a test of personal achievement, team working camaraderie and determination to overcome challenges and above all, a true test of character.

No! this is going to be tough. You will need to train your body to cope with the challenges and your mind to endure the suffering.

Born Survivor is an extreme event and as such is designed to push you to your limit and is harder than a standard mud run, 10K race. A structured program of all round strength and fitness training is highly recommended. Check out our Training Page for tips on how best to prepare.

The entry fee includes: Entry into the toughest challenge of your life, entry to the event village with bar, catering facilities, sponsors village: not forgetting the awesome finishers’ goodies.

Starting everyone at the same time would cause major bottlenecks at obstacles and can be a safety issue. Your safety and that of the spectators and event crew is our primary concern. Can I choose the wave start time I want? Absolutely – When you ENTER you will be asked to select your preferred wave start time.. For safety and numbers per start wave we may have to adjust your start time slightly. You will be informed of your final wave start time 1 week in advance of the event. What age do I need to be to enter? To take part in BORN SURVIVOR you have to be a minimum of 16 on event day (Lancashire 6/10km) & 14 on the day (Cheshire 6km).

Absolutely – When you ENTER you will be asked to select your preferred wave start time.. For safety and numbers per start wave we may have to adjust your start time slightly. You will be informed of your final wave start time 1 week in advance of the event.

To take part in BORN SURVIVOR you have to be a minimum of 16 on event day.

Absolute deadline for entries will be 23:59hrs on the Saturday two weeks prior to event day (ie 14 days prior to the event you wish to enter).

Emma Rodgers

The Clatterbridge Fairy was specially created by our Charity Patron, internationally acclaimed sculptor, Emma Rodgers.

We asked Emma to share why she's supporting our Fairy Appeal:
"I have been a Patron of Clatterbridge Cancer Charity for 14 years now, as my mum is cared for there. They are incredible with her and getting the 'all clear' was a wonderful moment. They've done more for me than I can ever do for them, so creating the Fairy seems a small thing, really.

And this year I will be dedicating my Fairy to Professor Myint and the Team at Clatterbridge love from Emma, Milly, Annie and family."
