3.2km of mud, water, hill climbs, balance beams, slippery slides, sand bag carries, tyre climbs, tunnels, mazes, gates, cargo nets, pontoons and even a giant see-saw! All eyes were on the 150 participants that were about to embark on an epic obstacle course designed to challenge, excite and encourage team work. Building on the already electric atmosphere, a storm brewed in the far distance as competitors lined up to begin their trial. Rolling thunder sent the first team on their way and signaling the beginning the Albany Active Farmers Games 2021!

Would we have to cancel the event at the last minute due to lighting fears? Not today. Following the roll of thunder, beams of light broke through the clouds as the weather eerily embodied the excitement and emotions of the day.

The next two hours saw teams slip, slide, scramble and succeed in overcoming the 30 obstacles designed to challenge even the most competitive of people. Crossing the finish line, competitors with mud, sand and water all over them, hugged, cheered and had the biggest smiles ever as they congratulated each other on completing the Active Farmers Games obstacle course.

This event could not have gone ahead without all the support form all the sponsors, major and minor, along with the help from over 40 volunteers, allowing the event to run smoothly. All of which said that they will be back and would love to compete as well! A huge thank you to the committee and Rae family for all their hard work.

All involved said that they would be back and cannot wait for next year’s event, of which will be bigger, better and even more fun! Laughter and stories of how people overcome the obstacles rang out into the night as everyone enjoyed live music, food and company.

What a great way to stay physically and mentally fit. See you next year!
