Pushed To Your Limits

WANNA get dirty and have some fun? Are you up for some mud, fire and ice? Want to put all your hard training to the test. Dolphins Health Precinct has the answers to those questions with a triple decker of adventure.

Event one is The Stampede on Saturday, September 8, an epic challenge that will push you to your limits. Running wild through a gruelling 5km or 10km obstacle course, you will crawl through thick mud, climb up cargo nets, slide down the giant slip and slide, run through live wires charged with 10,000 volts and wash it all down with a beer on one crazy day. Wear your most outrageous costume (there are prizes for best dressed), bring your mates and hold on for the most insane day of the year. You can even extend your stay and camp the night onsite to make a whole weekend of it. Finish the day off with a live band and DJ who will be pumping out tunes all day. There will also be a mechanical bull you can take on if you still want more action. Food and drink are available to purchase on site and alcohol can be purchased from the Mud Bar. This event is first in, first served and numbers are strictly limited. Early bird tickets are on sale until June 11. DHP are putting a team together and there will be limited spaces available. The DHP package includes bus transport to and from the event (leaving from DHP car park), special DHP Stampede Shirt, entry to the Stampede, one beer or water and a Stampede official T-shirt. Tickets paid for by June 11 are $99. The price increases the closer to the event. If you are interested in participating in The Stampede, please drop your sign-up form to DHP Reception.

Event two is the Warrior Dash, another extreme challenge, which along with The Stampede will be used as training for Tough Mudder, the biggest and one of the toughest courses. Teams will be organised and train at DHP for these three events and any member can join the fun of The Stampede first up. The second challenge comes on November 10 as Warrior Dash, the world’s largest running series, lands in Queensland for the first time. Warrior Dash features 13 obstacles from hell along its 4.82 kilometre course. Warrior Dash will be held at Hunting Lodge Estate at Mount Kilcoy with waves of up to 500 participants start every 30 minutes from 9am to 3pm.

And on to the ultimate challenge next year, Brisbane’s Tough Mudder on August 17-18 next year. Tough Mudder events are hardcore 18-20km obstacle courses with 25-30 military style obstacles designed by British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit and camaraderie. As the leading company in the booming obstacle course industry, Tough Mudder has already challenged half a million inspiring participants worldwide. But Tough Mudder is more than an event, it’s a way of thinking. By running a Tough Mudder challenge, competitors unlock a true sense of accomplishment, have a great time and discover a camaraderie with fellow participants that is experienced all too rarely these days.
