Mission Objective

Each mission is designed for all levels of fitness… from the couch potato through to the fitness nut that eats iron bars for breakfast! Everyone can finish this mission, everyone does finish this mission.

Mission Overview

Note – this is not a mud run or assault course. This is a genuine British Forces assessment. On arrival you’ll be issued combat clothing and sit through a realistic mission brief of the days objective. Next you’ll pick up a pack with your chosen weight of 5kg, 12kg or 20kg to suit your own fitness level and ability, then head out on a British Special Forces Challenge known in the military as a C.F.T. (Combat Fitness Test) Each part of the challenge is designed to test your Agility, Strength, Stamina and Mental Determination, which are all key attributes of a modern combat soldier. Through-out the mission you will be wearing genuine Military Fatigues, pack and assault webbing.
