Can you run a 5 or 10k, make your way through 35+ obstacles, AND test yourself in each of our 4+ unique BG Survival Challenges? Whether you answered yes to 1 or none of the above, push yourself this August and challenge yourself. Our Survival Zones include BG Survival Challenges replicating real-world survival situations you would inevitably encounter in the wild - equipping you with the knowledge and skill-set to make it through some of the most dangerous environments and terrains out there. Failure to complete a Survival Challenge results in a time penalty. ‘The difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary is just that little word – Extra. Give that little bit extra.”

BG Survival Challenges

This year every Bear Grylls Survival Race will contain a number of unique survival challenges. Road tested in our 30Km race in 2015 it is now time for all of our faithful to start on the road to becoming the Ultimate Survivor. There is no better way than to tackle the challenges that the Ultimate Survivors of the past have faced before you.

What are the Survival Challenges?

Anything that Bear and the team believe could help you, if learnt and executed correctly overcome potentially life threatening survival situations. We will test your strength, agility, targeting, evasion, memory, observation and a variety of other core skills across a variety of survival situations. Our Jungle, Arctic, Desert and Mountain challenges will see the beginner and more seasoned survivor tested to their absolute limits.

Survival Challenges and Rewards

As part of our pledge in 2016 we want to reward those survivors who continuously overcome our survival challenges. Earn your stripes in the various disciplines and receive rewards from Bear and our partners. Rewards include everything from small race discounts and festival giveaways right up to partner prizes and season passes to the Bear Grylls Survival Races in 2017. Some rewards will be on the spot and others will be for multiple passes. Could you become the first survivor to pass all challenges in one year? Our different race locations will have unique challenges specific to the location so we hope to see you at every event this year tackling everything the BG team has to throw at you. It now pays to be a BG survivor!
