Everyone is welcome to come and cheer the more than 500 competitors, with the first wave of Samson competitors beginning at 7:00 am and the last starting at 12:30 pm, starring The Armidale School (TAS).

Competition among the Elite Men is fierce this year, as they race to take out the title from 11:00 am onwards.

Samson Kids is a highlight for our under 12s, with the course sponsored by Conlon Bros Earth Moving and Sea & Sky Sensory Co.

Samson Kids has its own obstacle course, run by Mr Brad from Fitness Kidz. There is an inflatable jumping castle and climbing wall from Northern Rivers Jumping Castles, and volunteers from the Summerland Christian College will help Samson Kids run smoothly. Samson Kids costs $10 for unlimited time on the obstacle course and jumping castle, while the climbing wall is an extra $5.

Lismore’s local Army Reserve unit, the 41st Battalion Royal New South Wales Regiment (41 RNSWR), will be onsite helping to marshal on the day along with more than 120 volunteers.
The GSAC Health Expo along with the Southern Cross University Recovery Zone will ensure all competitors are looked after.

Samson Eat Street will cater to the hungry bellies, with the Amici food van, Boost Juice, and the Norths Baseball Club cooking up a storm with a BBQ.
