On Saturday 1st September 2018 a team of 18 set off on the Wolf Run, a 10K run including 30 obstacles, made up of cargo nets, a lake swim and treading through tons of mud. The team’s ages ranged from 20 to 60 years old, the course was by no means an easy task, impressively all contenders finished unscathed and elated at the thought of a well-earned rest.
The Wolf Run event is held on a regular basis throughout the year, in all weathers, and was held at Welsh Road Farm in Hunningham, Warwickshire.
O’Brien Charitable Trust once again used a fantastic event to raise money for its local charities.
