20 photos of the wildest obstacle course race mission in Ribble Valley

The event saw competitors tackle challenging terrain and obstacles in the picturesque Ribble Valley, with 20 photos capturing the action and drama of the day.

Dozens of hardy souls tackled Born Survivor at the weekend, taking on obstacles from cargo nets to balance beams to ice-cold water plunges, all in the depths of the Ribble Valley.

Born Survivor Lancashire is a 6k and 12k obstacle course race featuring more than 30 military-inspired obstacles, mud trenches and climbing challenges, with the teams helping to raise thousands for charity.

The Ribble Valley isn’t just a scenic location. It’s home to woodland trails, icy rivers, rolling hills and the infamous Torpedo Slide, giving the Ribble Valley area one of the UK’s most demanding and challenging mud runs.

Whether you’re tackling your first obstacle race or returning for another mission, the Ribble Valley area delivers a unique combination of natural terrain, relentless obstacles and an unforgettable event atmosphere.

Daniel Martino was on hand to capture all the action. Take a look at part one of our photo gallery of the event below.
