HUNDREDS of people varying ages headed to the beach on Saturday for yet another Banna Beast Challenge.

There were about 350 adults and and around 300 children taking part in the event which saw competitors  face the obstacles on courses of varying lengths.

The weather held out which was a bonus for the hundreds on the 7km military-style obstacle challenge with walls, rope climbs, swings, slides and tyre flips.

 

It was great fun as always and participants enjoyed the aprés-pain entertainment to round off a energetic day at Banna. Scroll down for photos…
