Only the Brave - Charity Obstacle Course Race (OCR)
Join us at Only The Brave and take on the exciting 3, 6 or 10 mile mud obstacle course! Inspired by EAAA pilots, doctors, paramedics, patients and their families. They amaze us when they overcome physical and emotional obstacles every day. They tell us it’s ‘not the obstacles you face, but the way you deal with them’ that counts. Participants will need the same mentality to complete the course.
