THE FINAL 31KM. THE FINAL PUSH.

This Sunday at 8am, we hit the tarmac for the final leg of the 496 Challenge.

What started as a challenge has become a movement. Every mile, every early start, every aching leg has been for a purpose far bigger than ourselves raising awareness and fighting for better mental health.

The finish line is in sight, but the mission continues.

Whether you want to walk, bike, run, or simply cheer from the sidelines, we'd love your support.

We'll be starting from The Wrekin Giant & following the Primal Instincts Walk 'n' Talk route, which is approximately 5km. You don't need to take on the full 31km to get involved come along & complete the 5km route with us, show your support, and be part of the journey.

📍The Wrekin Giant
⏰ Sunday, 8am
🚶 Walk with us
🚴 Bike with us
🏃 Run with us

Every step, every mile, & every show of support helps us continue the fight for better mental health.

Come and be part of something bigger.

We recently started a GoFundMe and thanks to the kindness of our community we had raised a large sum of money which would have benefited the men who need help.

Sadly today, due to an issue with GoFundMe all of the donations have been returned and the total currently stands at £10.

If you had donated and would like to re-donate it would greatly appreciated, we are aware of how difficult it is financially for people right now so please do not feel any pressure to send the donation again.

This Saturday, the men of Primal Instincts a dedicated to support men’s mental health stepped far outside their comfort zones and took on the brutal Born Survivor 10K.

Designed by the Royal Marines, this military grade course threw 30 punishing obstacles in our path, testing every ounce of strength, resilience, and determination we had.

Through mud, sweat, teamwork, and relentless laughter, we pushed each other beyond limits, proving that mental strength is just as powerful as physical endurance. Shoes were lost, bodies were battered, but no man was left behind.

Together, we conquered every obstacle, standing stronger as brothers, united by challenge, support, and the power of men lifting each other up.

This was more than a race. It was a statement.
Strong men support each other. Stronger men show up.

Mental Health Awareness Week.

Did you know 1 in 4 people will struggle with their mental health this year?
Most people won’t talk about it.
A lot of men won’t ask for help.
So instead… we bottle it up, say “I’m fine” and pretend everything’s alright.

That’s why we do what we do at .

Walks.
Cold water dips.
Bootcamps.
Good people.
Good laughs.
A bit of chaos and plenty of banter.

Because sometimes improving your mental health doesn’t start with sitting in a room talking.
Sometimes it starts with getting out of the house and being around the right people.

This week, take action.
Come and join us.

Today marks the start of Mental Health Awareness Week and this year’s theme is Take Action.

Sometimes action starts with something simple.
Showing up.
Getting involved.
Building connections.

Too many men are struggling in silence. At Primal Instincts we believe brotherhood and connection can change lives.

Take action this week and join one of our events. Come and clear your mind, have a laugh and improve your mental wellbeing alongside other men.

You don’t have to do life alone.
