The Gauntlet Games

Gladiators, READY! Battle Real Gladiators at a hilarious Game-Show Obstacle Course coming to London!

The Gauntlet Games is a series of 5km and 10km game-show style races that will be taken on tour across the UK in 2017.

This is the World’s only obstacle course with real Gladiators, and over 20 of them will be battling runners around the course, armed with inflatable weapons, paint guns and foam! The Gauntlet Games gives runners a chance to feel like a child again and is a huge adventure playground for adults, complete with many giggles along the way with the Gladiators.

People of all abilities, shapes and sizes are invited to give the course a go, individually or as a team, and each event will have its own fancy dress theme, with prizes going to the best team fancy dress.

Runners can take part for fun, or can choose to raise money for one of the many charities already partnered with the Gauntlet Games, including Cancer Research UK and Down’s Syndrome Association.

As well as the race, there will be a free Event Festival for all supporters, families and friends to enjoy. There are all sorts of activities in the festival, separated into different zones.

The different zones are:
- Spectator Interactive Zone – pick up a paint gun and zap our runners as they race around the course!
- Fancy Dress/ Selfie Zone – there’s a fancy dress theme at each event, and a prize for the best outfit so here’s your chance to enter.
- Nourish & Pamper Zone – enjoy a post-race massage, or munch on some delicious food and drinks while you wait for your runners to finish the course
- Kids Zone – games, competitions and activities in our fab kids zone.
- Team Games/ Adrenaline Zone – haven’t entered the race? No problem! You can get a taste of some activities here!
- Race Zone – the all important area where Gladiators will be warming you up pre-race. Make sure you arrive early so you don’t miss it!
- VIP Zone – strictly for our VIPs – you can upgrade your ticket to a VIP ticket when you sign up online to take part in the race.
It’s completely free to come to the Event Festival, or if you want to take part in the race, tickets start at £36, which includes a free t-shirt and medal.
