Over 30 fundraisers from Project Phoenix southport are taking on the gruelling Born Survivor challenge in Lancashire to raise funds for Southport Lifeboat this weekend.
Born Survivor is a military assault course themed event, designed by former Royal Marines Commandos.
The event takes place in Ribble Valley this Saturday (12th September 2026).
Competitors will have to overcome authentic military grade obstacles, special ‘survivor surprises’, muscle draining mud, rugged terrain and their own self-doubt to become a survivor.
Project Phoenix is a family-run fitness business based on Norwood Road in Southport.

A Southport Lifeboat spokesperson said:
“Please support members of Project Phoenix southport who are taking on Born Survivor this weekend in aid of Southport Offshore Rescue Trust!
“Over 30 members of the team will be running 12km and tackling more than 30 obstacles, all to raise vital funds for the charity that runs the Southport Lifeboat.
“Independent of the RNLI, Southport Lifeboat is a charity that saves lives at sea and on land from the River Ribble to the River Mersey and up to 25 miles offshore.
“Our volunteers cover over 25 square miles of beach, dunes, forestry, marshland and Southport Marine Lake.
“Project Phoenix is a family‑run fitness business designed for beginner to intermediate trainers. “Their friendly community takes the intimidating feel out of the gym and replaces it with a warm, safe and supportive space for people to exercise and have fun.
“If you’d like to support the team and help us continue our lifesaving work, you can donate using the link below:
