I think we just created the most meaningful brand partnership in Irish wellness 💚

On June 6th at Killruddery Estate, we will be at the finish line. Because mental resilience and physical resilience are the same muscle. And the people who cross that line deserve to be seen, supported, and cared for.

We are gifting 20 Well-Nest boxes to participants who showed outstanding resilience, kindness, and community spirit on the course. The ones who kept going. The ones who helped others when they were struggling themselves.
Know someone who deserves one? Head over to Hell and Back on Instagram to nominate them 🤍 @hellandbackrun

We will also have a space in the event village where you can find us, pick up a box, and take a moment to breathe.

Crossing the finish line is incredible. But what happens after matters too.

If you are running Hell and Back this June, we will see you there 🤍

New obstacles. Thousands on the course. One huge day in Bray.

Join the mayhem via the link in bio.

New for June 6th - SCREAM FIELDS

Deep within a brutal new section of the HELL & BACK course, SCREAM FIELDS introduces 7 new obstacles built to test balance, grip, nerve and determination.

Can you survive SCREAM FIELDS?

⚫ The Spinning Field
A rotating tunnel of black plastic pipes spinning wildly around a central beam, turning every step into a fight for balance.
⚫ The Trenches
Deep slippery mud mounds where the only way forward is straight through the mess.
⚫ Traverse Wall Climb
Scale a huge wooden wall using scattered rock handholds before hauling yourself over the top.
⚫ The Stacks
Crawl through dark vertical pipes before climbing up through confined cylinders to escape.
⚫ The Sidewinder
A brutal traverse wall forcing competitors sideways across climbing holds while grip and arms begin to fail.
⚫ Window Wall
Leap, dive and change direction through openings built into towering wooden walls.
⚫ Rabbit Holes
A dark underground crawl through buried muddy tunnels where the challenge becomes mental as much as physical.

SCREAM FIELDS arrives at HELL & BACK - Saturday 6th June!

If you haven’t tried it before, Yoplait SKYR is a creamy Icelandic recipe, rich in protein with 0% fat.

Made with skimmed milk, skimmed milk powder and lactic ferments (milk), it’s the ideal grab-and-go snack before or after taking on the course 💪

The @yoplait_ire team will be onsite all day handing out samples to participants, so make sure to swing by and give it a try while you’re there 🙌

Nominate Someone Special ❤️

Behind every person taking on Hell & Back, there’s often a story that nobody else sees.

This year, we want to give something back. We’re asking you to nominate someone who is registered for HELL & BACK on Saturday 6th June and tell us in 100 words or less why they deserve something special.

Maybe they’re fundraising for a cause close to their heart.
Maybe they’ve overcome a difficult time.
Maybe they’ve simply been there for others when it mattered most.

Ahead of the event, we’ll select 20 nominees to receive a special ‘Calm Edition’ Well-Nest By Debbie hamper from The Calming Collection ❤️

The Well-Nest team will also be onsite on Saturday 6th June, where participants and spectators will be able to meet the team and purchase some of their beautiful hampers. @wellnestbydebbie
