Nuclear Rush
Nuclear Rush is a muddy obstacle event held at the Secret Nuclear Bunker Estate in Brentwood, Essex. The courses run across farmland, woodland and lakes and include a mix of natural and man‑made obstacles.
Participants can choose from several race formats:
- 12 km with 70+ obstacles
- 6 km with 40+ obstacles
- 4 km family with 35+ obstacles
- 1.5 km family with 25+ obstacles
- 3 km Rookie for ages 9–14 with 50+ obstacles
- 3 km Rookie Pro with mandatory obstacles and a burpee penalty for failed obstacles
Signature course elements include the Deathslide, the Travelator and multi‑lane zip wires into water, plus additional zipline features. Water obstacles have buoyancy aids available. Many waves use chip timing and all adult and family finishers receive a medal. Other on‑site facilities listed for most races include hot washdowns, changing facilities, a free car park, free bag drop and a free finishers photo.
Age and supervision rules vary by wave: for example, the 6 km adult race accepts participants aged 13 and over with adult accompaniment required for 13 to 15 year olds, while some adult waves require age 16 and over. Some races do not penalise skipped obstacles, allowing participants to choose which obstacles to attempt. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
