Two brothers from the Island are set to take part in an extreme obstacle course.

Alex and Christian Mitchell have entered The Spartan Challenge, a 3 mile race full of barbed wire and gladiators.

They are hoping to raise money for the Piam Brown ward which Alex was at when he was younger.

The race is this weekend and the brothers are hoping to raise £1000 for the charity.
