Third time for me and the kids and we it was just as fun as previous years. The best day for pushing you outside of your comfort zone and challenging yourself in the most supportive and friendly environment with lashing of laughter and smiles along the way. We absolutely love Commando and it’s firmly fixed in our diaries! The kids are old enough to do it on their own now but I’m coming back every year regardless 😂

This is the second time I have completed the Commando course and it did not disappoint! It contained a range of obstacles that required different skills to overcome them, so there was a nice variation. The obstacles were challenging but not impossible, there was a good balance. I...

Edenbridge under 16s rugby club completed the 6k course on Saturday. It was by far the best team building experience and fun event that we have done. I couldn't fault the organization and course layout. It was a brilliant afternoon and we will be booking our spaces for next ye...

An amazing event, half-way through the course I decided I was going to sign up for next year's run! The obstacles were thrilling, the staff were supportive and energetic, overall a fantastic time.

My first time taking part in Commando and I can't wait to come back again next year! The buzz on the day was great and well put together by the Commando team. The obstacles were tough but really enjoyable and you feel a sense of achievement once you've done it! A lot of mud, a lot of challenges and definitely worth it. Would recommend for anyone doing it solo, with family and friends or as a work or sports group! See you next year Commando!

We’ve done the event several times now and our sons still ask to enter every year … even training for it in advance. They love the obstacles, the mud, the buzz, the T-shirts … the pizza at the end! It’s brilliant, from start to finish. Highly recommend.

I really enjoyed The Commando Run, overall I would rate it as one of my favourite events out of this years 23 I have entered so far infact I would probably go as far as saying that it had the most fun obstacles of them all, particularly loved the two slides, the rope swing into the mud pool and the underground section, the atmosphere was great and I thought that the people working there were really friendly and put in a lot of effort to make the day feel extra special, the boat ride to the start line was a really great different way to start an event, the surrounding countryside and castle gardens were a beautiful setting and best of all the course was very muddy because I really love the mud
