5 obstacle races to try this summer

Rough Runner: London

Rough Runner is an obstacle course challenge inspired by game shows such as Takeshi’s Castle and Gladiators. All this excitement is being brought right to the heart of our capital on Clapham Common. It has been no easy feat, but Rough Runner have managed to bring a full range of massive, awesome obstacles onto a public common and stage the biggest urban obstacle event in the country. No Londoner must miss this. It’s only a few minutes away from Clapham South station – their most accessible location by far.
