HARRY HARRISON
OWNER AND LEAD INSTRUCTOR
With a successful bootcamp company under his belt, and over 23 years' experience training military personnel, Harry knows a thing or two about obstacle courses and outdoor adventure. Also the proud owner of OCR race 'One True Grit', Harry wanted to develop this type of activity further: "OCR racing is a great sporting event but it's just for one day. This is for every day! The Obstacle Training Ground is what excites me - this is where outdoor fitness takes on a whole new level. There's no limits to how far you can push yourself or what events you can run here. It's the ultimate fitness playground and it's for everyone - all ages and abilities and especially families. There really is something for everyone.
