It is a 14-metre obstacle course that gets everyone off the sidelines and into the action. Players run the length of the course, push through squeeze sections, dodge pop-up barriers, scramble up the climbing wall, and race to the slide at the finish. Every run is different, and that is the point. The competitive format means kids and adults keep going back for another round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 14 metres long, The Gauntlet is large enough for side-by-side racing, making it ideal for birthday parties, school fetes, corporate team days, and community events. It works for a backyard full of teens or a school oval full of students. The Gauntlet suits ages 12 and up and handles groups of mixed ages without the need to swap equipment between sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-figure-grid\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"product-figure-grid__cell\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/3274\/2137\/files\/the-gauntlet-card-spec-jump-about.jpg?v=1784216116\" alt=\"Graphic card showing The Gauntlet obstacle course dimensions and hire price\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"product-figure-grid__cell\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/3274\/2137\/files\/the-gauntlet-square-front-face-jump-about.jpg?v=1784216047\" alt=\"Straight on view of The Gauntlet inflatable entrance archway with printed banner\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"specs-table\"\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14m x 6m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpace required (with clearance)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16m x 8m minimum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAge range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 years to adult\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSetup surface\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlat grass preferred.
