DNA Boot Camp at Tough Guy 2010

Colchester has staked a claim to be the fittest town in the country, after more than 50 of its residents completed this years tough guy competition.

A team of 52 men and women, aged between 17 and 59, from DNA Boot Camp in Colchester, completed a six-mile course in the Staffordshire countryside, followed by an assault course described as an ‘ordeal’.

Led by personal trainers Brett Bowen, Liam Clayton, Elliot Chapman and Dave Bond, they overcame obsticles including blazing bales of hay, icy water tunnels, barbed wire, electric fences and bridges made of one thin piece of rope between two trees, several metres above the ground.

Mr Bowen, director of DNA Boot Camp, first did the event in 2005.

He said: “Five years on, to bring the largest team to ever take part in Tough Guy – outside of military squadrons – is a major achievement.

“What’s more, each year we raise money for a charity. Knowing that as we grow we’re able to help a little more each year is just amazing.”

This year, money raised will go to the Ellenor Lions Hospice.
