WHAT IS MANDOWN?
Chris Flynn, Head Instructor and Co-Founder of The Green Mile Training Camp, says “With extra help from Covid and lockdowns we’ve all become accustomed to this very safe, very sanitised lifestyle. We don’t take risks, we don’t challenge ourselves, and many of us are feeling stale, unmotivated, and like we’re just going through the motions.
“That’s exactly why we’ve designed our new MANDOWN event; to get us all stepping out of that comfort zone we’ve relied on for the last year, to put ourselves in unusual and challenging environments, and discover more about our strength, resilience, and ability to do what we never thought possible.”
Every MANDOWN event will see 50 ambitious challengers complete a series of Navy Seal, Royal Marine, and SAS-inspired tasks that will test them not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally. Carried out in the shadows of the Garth mountains after dark, MANDOWN will plunge challengers into a world of sensory deprivation, empowering them to draw upon their own internal strength and personal attributes to complete the arduous exercises.

WHAT FITNESS LEVEL IS REQUIRED?
Candidates must have a base line of fitness, however we are not looking for elite athletes, this is not about ego, speed, or strength. This event is a mental game, it’s about how far one’s mind will take them through the event rather than their body.
Not every part of MANDOWN involves physical activity, but even if you can’t complete a particular movement on the event, we will scale it down and find something you can do. Its more about being able to keep going, It’s more about the mindset approach than the physical ability.
MANDOWN is spread over a private 110 acre facility in Cardiff and is aimed at the general public.
No military experience or training is required.
