To Our Raw Challenge Community,
After 10 wild, muddy, unforgettable years, Brad and I have made the tough call to close Raw Challenge as of 31 March.
Our insurance provider has decided they will no longer cover obstacle racing, and to be honest, after a decade of building, hauling, lifting, and watching you maniacs tear across our paddocks… we’re getting a bit long in the tooth. It feels like the right moment to finish strong.
And that’s exactly what we’re going to do.
Because our March event isn’t just another event — it’s our 20th event, our 10‑year anniversary, and the FINAL Raw Challenge ever.
We’ve put around 60,000 legends over our farm and through our obstacles, and we’ve genuinely loved 99.9% of you. The community that’s grown around this place has been something special — teams, families, first timers, die hards, volunteers, mud‑covered champions… you’ve made this ride unforgettable.
We also want to give a massive thank you to our long‑time sponsors and partners who’ve stood by us through every build, every storm, every event day, and every muddy victory. Zarraffas, Wild Earth, Shovelton signs and Nebella— your support has helped shape Raw Challenge into what it became, and we’re deeply grateful for the years of backing, belief, and shared chaos.
So, if you’ve ever run Raw Challenge, talked about running Raw Challenge, or promised yourself “one day”… this is the day. This is your last chance to take on the course that’s broken spirits, built confidence, forged friendships, and created a decade of stories.
We want this final event to be the biggest, loudest, muddiest send‑off in Raw Challenge history. Grab your mates. Lock in your team. Get your tickets. Let’s pack the farm one last time and finish this journey the way it started — with heart, grit, laughter, and a whole lot of mud.
Thank you for 10 incredible years. See you at the finish line for the final time.
With gratitude, Brad, Mick, Anthea, and Felicity
