The HeART & Soul art project began as a simple distraction activity created to support people through the Christmas period, a sometimes difficult and isolating time of year.

KIDS OBSTACLE COURSE EVENT
2026-03-22 14:00 - 16:00 | 1633 Mandurah Rd, 1633 Mandurah Road, Baldivis, WA, 6171, Australia
It’s all about Kids, Mud and Fun. This obstacle course is exciting, safe and encouraging for all kids 5 – 14 yr. Come alone or with friends

These awesome XLR8 Kids HOLIDAY events are simply the best, they are always fun, active, exciting and encouraging for all kids from 5 to 14 years!!! Mud, water, 30+ obstacles, a personalised certificate and a wristband for every participating child are all part of the amazing XLR8 Obstacle Course.
Kids of all athletic abilities are encouraged to join in as there is no better way to connect with their own inner warrior and with their sporty friends and fellow friendly racers whilst they run, walk, crawl, climb and jump their way through a fun-filled obstacle course that helps them discover just how XLR8 strong they really are. You can choose between the 1km, 2km or 3km run.
XLR8 doesn’t put any restrictions on what track you can do based on age, it is your choice – it is mostly your child’s ability, resilience and will-power that determines which track they will complete.
XLR8 Kids events provide a safe outdoor environment where having fun and getting muddy is mandatory! It inspires the kids to have a go and trust their own abilities!
There is a reduced rate for group bookings, for those liking to join in for their birthday party, a team event or a friend’s outing.
You can register 1 child or multiple kids from 5 years to 14 years old at the same time or make a group booking at a discounted rate.
Note: PLEASE REGISTER UNDER THE NAME OF THE PARTICIPATING CHILD/REN (don’t register yourself)!!! That way the ticket is in your child’s name and we can prepare the certificates correctly. We hope you can stay till all children have passed the finish line so your child can receive his or her own personalised certificate & wristband together with all the other children.
During the event, parents can sit back (bring a camping chair/ blanket), relax, encourage the kids from the side, bring a cuppa and enjoy whilst our fantastic team is on the course with your kids or be a part of the XLR8 team and volunteer to support all the kids on the course.
For any questions please see FAQ underneath or contact us via baldivisfitness@gmail.com
