Terrain
Mapperton Farm offers the crazy Kamikaze runner incredible gradient related challenges to overcome. The spurs and valleys of this amazing tract of land provide not only tightly packed contour lines but phenomenal scenery to enjoy as you battle round. To complement the natural features the votwo course designers have gone radical and added many more outrageous obstacles; implemented to test fitness, nerve and determination.

‘This was honestly the most fun I’ve EVER had in a running event! Totally brutal and physically demanding, but completely awesome at the same time!! Good work guys!

You guys are sadistic, keep it up.’
Hi, just wondering you would permit a
13 yr old in the youth category. He is
a keen outdoors lad and has previously
completed medium length fun runs and is
naturally older than his years?
many thanks
