Event information

Nuclear Races is back in 2024 for St Helena Hospice and in May we will see the Nuclear Races 'RUSH' Weekend come to life.

You can choose from multi award winning 7km or 12km course distances over obstacle-loaded, muddy farmland set in the heart of the Secret Bunker Estate, Essex.

Nuclear is well known for delivering UK’s most award winning events with big, high quality, achievable, natural & man-made obstacles designed to test every ability of fitness on fast-paced courses over epic varied terrain. Expect the infamous Death slides, Para-plunge zip-lines & new Swing A Ding obstacles at the lake zone plus loads of other obstacles.

1. The course distances are 7km & 12k. This event is NOT a lap race.
2. All racers are chip-timed.
3. Your wave will be made up of 7 & 12k runners. You will run together until 7k where 12k runners will split. There’ll be warning signs, arrows and a Nuclear marshal at the split to guide you.
4. There are 70+ obstacles on the 12k, 40+ on the 7k courses.
5. Attempt as many or as few obstacles as you like – it’s your challenge!
6. There are no penalties.
7. A Nuclear Rush survivor medal & finisher top plus hot cup of tea at the finish.
8. Option to de-select finisher top at checkout, reducing our impact on the environment & reducing your final checkout total.
9. We will start clearing the 7 & 12k Rush courses from 5pm onwards (last runner 1st)

Unleash your inner warrior and take on this exhilarating challenge for St Helena Hospice.
