H&B Winter Warrior 2026:
Extreme Obstacle Course Madness!
GO THROUGH THE DEPTHS OF Hell this WINTER!
Get ready for HELL & BACK Winter Warrior 2026 – a Winter Trail Run unlike any other!
Participants can tackle a half marathon distance (21KM) consisting of a 7KM loop packed with insane obstacles like Heartbreak Ridge, Valley of Pain, and Satan’s Pit.
The first wave starts at 09:45 so you can take on 14KM (two laps) or the full 21KM (three laps) - or opt for the 7KM Social Lap later in the day.
Our Start & Finish in Giltspur promises even more adrenaline - and the wet and windy Wicklow weather will make this Extreme Obstacle Course one for the books!
Finishers will also receive an exclusive HELL & BACK medal as they cross the line.
Plus, you can warm up afterwards in Hell’s Kitchen Food Village, where you'll find comforting food and drink to recharge.

FEET
• Trail runners are ideal (better grip in muddy conditions)
• Astro boots are also effective
• We strongly advise against wearing normal runners or other footwear, as reduced grip increases injury risk
• Studs, cleats, blades & spikes are NOT PERMITTED
HANDS
• Fingerless cycling gloves are best, full finger gloves will get water logged
UPPER BODY
• Base layer: Compression top
• Top layer: Technical t-shirt (optional)
• Long sleeves help protect arms in crawling obstacles
• Avoid cotton!
LEGS
• Compression leggings recommended for protection when crawling
• Avoid flimsy materials that may rip or tear
REMEMBER
Duct tape, electrical tape & cable ties are not allowed on shoes as they can come off and endanger farm livestock . Instead, triple knot your laces!
