Organiser's Description

This unique event sees participants running in the footsteps of the ‘Bravest of the Brave’. Based on a pivotal part of the Gurkha selection process, we challenge you to take on an undulating 5km cross-country course with a weighted Nepali Doko basket strapped to your back. Places are sure to be in demand and competition will be fierce!

You can choose for your Doko basket to weigh 5kg, 10kg or 15kg, and can run, jog, or walk the route. Those looking to push themselves can aim to beat the Gurkha recruitment time of 46 minutes!

Following two highly successful Doko Challenge South events, we are bringing our famous event to Roundhay Park in Leeds!
