Commando

Fortified with crenellations, a moat, portcullis, this 400 year old defensive structure and British icon, creates the perfect backdrop for Commando. Hever Castle represents challenge, heritage, success, and military excellence.

The 6K course has 24 of the toughest obstacles and mixes endurance and obstacle racing. This is the only event that can recreate the mud, sweat and pain of modern day Royal Marines Commando training.

Think mud runs and epic cargo climbs, tunnels and tubes, stretcher manoeuvres and river crosses, slippery slopes and dramatic drops, planks and pools.

One lap not enough? Take on two, 12K and 48 obstacles. Want to camp in a bivouac or take on a 3 hour survival experience? We have many ways you can immerse yourself in the full Commando experience.

All participants receive a set of dog tags.

We're delighted that 2021 Commando will be an official qualifying event for the OCR World Championships. To take part, sign up to the OCR timed event on Saturday morning.

Photographers will be positioned around the course, finish line, and event village to capture you in action.

Train for your race in Castle Race Series kit and tag us #CastleRaceSeries so we can see you in action.

Spectators can also join in the fun; watching the action from the event village, enjoying the bar, climbing wall, live music and even visit the castle.

This event is raising money and awareness for The Royal Marines Charity so that they can provide a lifetime of support to the Royal Marines family.

We host a family campsite for tents and caravans in the castle grounds. Pitches start at £30. Click 'Purchase Merchandise' on your registration.
