A NEW three-day festival is bringing its free obstacle course to Bournemouth town centre next weekend.

Ahead of their festival in September, Contender Fest are coming to The Triangle in Commercial Road on Saturday August 14.

Would-be contenders can get a taste of what they can expect from the full 40-element obstacle course which will be the centrepiece of the new Contender Fest event next month.

Contender Fest founder Des Burke said: “We want to give people an idea of the experience they can look forward to at Contender Fest later this summer and get them fired up for some physical fun.

“The obstacle course we’re putting together is unique, with elements chosen to be challenging – but not defeating – so contenders of every fitness level and ability can take part and feel the buzz of putting themselves to the test and doing something new and exciting.

“We cannot wait to share it with you – so come along and be a contender.”

Contender Fest is taking place at Parley Lane, near Bournemouth Airport, from September 10 to 12.
