A woodland obstacle course with a newly designed mud-filled route will make its way to Black Park Country Park in September.

The five mile Woodland Warfare obstacle course, run by British Military Fitness, will be set up on September 30, replacing The Major Series South.

The course, which is designed for all fitness levels, is manned by 40 military fitness instructors who encourage participants along the way.

New features include a “showstopper” obstacle in the middle of the “Major barracks” and the chance to stop and take a photograph with the Major himself.

The Major said: “My troops and I have been strategically planning our operations to make our courses more accessible than ever.

“Now I'm looking for new recruits who are keen to try out one of my mud runs for the first time, or grab their friends and deploy as a team.

“Our new courses are suitable for anyone to take to the battlefield. They may have changed but what won’t is the fun and friendly banter that has become signature to my events.”
