The Bull (and Calf!) Rush
The bull rush is a race for adults who love challenges and want a race out of the ordinary. It's not about speed but about how to make your way through nature's own obstacles along with all the other Bull Rushers.

Dense forest, swamps, mudflats and extremely steep slopes. These are some of the guaranteed natural obstacles the kids will encounter during the 'Calf Rush', the race for kids. There are no artificial obstacles here. We have scouted Stockholm County to find the ultimate place with wild nature in the deepest of forests which later in the autumn can turn into a paradise for all Calf Rushers. 

Fun for all the family - be prepared to get muddy!

Dates: 5 October
Price: SEK 575 - 675
Address: Norra Djurgården (see website for detailed directions)
Ages: 5-15 years for the Calf Rush; over 16s for the Bull Rush
