I enjoyed getting muddy and going through the obstacles with my friends. Overall, I had a great time. However, I was concerned about the lack of safety measures for the first part of the 3K course, which involved fighting through mud. There were no staff to regulate the number of people who went through the mud and reduce bottle necks. My friends and I hadn't realised we were sinking whilst waiting for other people to go through. As a result one of my friends was completely stuck and injured herself trying to get out of the mud. Some of my group stayed behind to try and help her. Medics were called but could not reach her quickly because of the mud. I was disappointed by the lack of contingency plans and access for medics. One of my friends managed to get her out (as well as some of the medics who were stuck). Thankfully, my friend was alright and could walk back. If we had been advised not to wait in the mud, I think the incident could have been avoided. There were Commando staff at most of the other obstacles and my friends and I had no further issues.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you and your friends enjoyed the obstacles and had a great time overall, but we’re very sorry to hear about what happened during the mud section. Safety is incredibly important to us, and we’re sorry that your group’s experience fell short of expectations in this instance. We’re particularly concerned to hear about the difficulties accessing your friend and the challenges faced by the medics. We’ll ensure your feedback is shared. We’re relieved to hear your friend was able to walk back and hope she has made a full recovery. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

End of an era! We've loved Commando Series so much we have taken part in it every year since 2015. A huge thankyou to all of the organisers, volunteers and team members for organising such a high quality event year after year. Its been amazing to see the same faces each time and it shows just how much it has meant to them as well as us.

One of the best and unique obstacle races out there. This year was my 4th time at this event and is always the best one to end the OCR season. The staff, atmosphere and care that goes into this event makes it stand well above others like it.

This was our third time doing the commando course at Hever and we have loved every year. The staff and course exemplify a passion and commitment to show a tiny bit of royal marine training, and all done with fun and the right degree of safety in mind. I’m sorry this was the last event. We will miss it. Thank you to all those who made it possible it’s been a blast with long living memories.

Yesterday, my husband took our two boys (aged 7 and 8) along with five of their friends to the Commando Obstacle Mud Run at Hever Castle - and what a way to close out the year's mud run season. This was their fourth mud race of 2026 and without doubt the most intense. 6km, 25 obstacles, 4 adults, seven under-9s and a solid 2.5 hours on course. The setting at Hever Castle is stunning and the Royal Marine instructors add something really special - proper military energy that the kids absolutely fed off. The course was genuinely challenging but the level of support on the day meant every single child crossed that finish line. Watching a group of under-9s power through 25 obstacles with that kind of determination was something else. If you're looking for a family obstacle race that takes the kids seriously and actually pushes them, this is it. We'll be back.

Great race and everything was amazing apart from there were no commando t-shirts left at all so had to wear a crew shirt that was down to my knees and really heavy only congestion. In single file pond swim
