The Swanbourne Endeavour is an event for all fitness levels, but you wont find it easy. From the 5km Kids Endeavour to the slightly longer 5km Adult Endeavour (min age 15 years) and the tougher 10km Adult Endeavour there is something to challenge the young and the old. From 12 year olds to rusting 80+ year old grannys, many have felt the accomplishment of running, climbing, crawling and dragging themselves round the course.
THE MAIN EVENT The Swanbourne Endeavour
The main event with something for everyone – from the toughest of kids endurance runs – a 4km run over the same course as adults, to the choice of Challenge or Elite events over 5km or 10km, of course all washed down with some new obstacles and the obligatory brandy!
Both ‘Challenge’ and ‘Elite’ follow the same course, with the ‘Elite’ runners setting a speedier pace and undertaking to complete ALL the obstacles.
The Swanbourne Kids Endeavour
The Kids Endeavour (approx. 4km) will have similar terrain as the 5km but be achievable to a wider cross-section of younger entrants aged 12 – 14 years. More fun than Geography homework!
Swanbourne lies in beautiful countryside between the towns of Aylesbury, Milton Keynes and Buckingham, making the event very accessible. The village dates back to Norman times and boasts a historic church, two schools, a shop and an award-winning pub, The Betsey Wynne – perfect for sweaty, mud-caked competitors to refuel after the race.
No better place to collectively celebrate beating the Admirals cunning obstacles such as “Keel Haul, “The Tar Pit”, “The French Sailors Toilet”,and “The Damned Hollanders Swamp” to name but a few
