Knockburn Loch – Aberdeenshire
Brave the epic 10km obstacle course race at Knockburn Loch and tackle over 30 amazing obstacles, speed down giant water slides, take a dip in the icy loch and wade through thick mud.
This year is set to be bigger and better than ever before with new and upgraded obstacles to tackle, unexpected new challenges around the event base, the legendary beast warm up is going up a notch and there will be great music and awesome street food all day.
So, whether you’re taking on a personal challenge or braving the Beast as a team, this fun, atmospheric obstacle race with plenty of mud, fancy dress and camaraderie is perfect for you!
Have a muddy good time and raise vital funds to make sure the 1 in 5 people in Scotland living with chest, heart and stroke conditions get the support they need to live life to the full.
To secure your free charity place, contact fundraising@chss.org.uk.
By signing up to brave the Beast Race, you’re doing something amazing!
Charity places for the event are free and we’re asking all our fundraising heroes to promise to raise at least £150 in sponsorship. We will provide all the support you need to help you meet and beat your fundraising goal.
Every penny you raise will go towards helping someone in Scotland rebuild their life and get back to doing the things that matter to them when they return home from hospital with a chest, heart or stroke condition.
You’ll be helping people like Chris, whose life completely changed when he suffered a serious stroke in 2020.
“I was lonely and scared, not knowing if I would see my family again.”
“I was the most active person, a real hands-on dad and husband. I was a footballer and a football coach but stroke has left me paralysed on my left-hand side and now I have to use a wheelchair.
“But I haven’t had to go through all of this on my own. When I got out of hospital after nine months, Gillian from Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland was there for me, and she did so much to help me adapt to my new life.
“A stroke is a scary thing to happen to anyone but being supported by Gillian and a charity like CHSS takes a lot of that fear away. Everyone needs a Gillian in their life after stroke.”
By fundraising at the Beast Race, you’ll be helping fund our vital support services so more people across Scotland can get the support they need when they return home from hospital.
If you need any support to make your fantastic fundraising ideas really fly, we’re here to help!
