The Gauntlet kicked off its inflatable obstacle course adventure at The Ridge School in Westcliff, Johannesburg – and what a day it was! As part of the school’s breakup day celebrations, the event brought fun, fitness, and excitement to students, friends, and adults alike.
This wasn’t just another school event; instead, it was a day of unforgettable memories, teamwork, and eco-friendly fun. So, how did it all go down?





A breakup day to remember
Our one-day deployment was designed to fit into end of yeay breakup schedule. This ensured everyone had maximum fun while accommodating kids of all ages. Everyone raced, bounced, and slid and had lots of fun! They conquered South Africa’s largest inflatable obstacle course and made memories that will last a lifetime.
- Fitness was fun: The course kept everyone active and engaged.
- High-energy races: Students competed in friendly races and cheered each other on.
- Non-stop fun: From bouncing to sliding, every moment was packed with excitement.
Collaboration that shines
The Ridge played an incredible role in making the day a success. For instance, they provided all the refreshments and food, offering a variety of options to keep everyone energised. Furthermore, their great recycling stations made sustainability a key focus of the day.
- Eco-friendly initiatives: Digital ticketing, waiver and recycling stations encouraged students to think green.
- Community spirit: Staff and students worked together to create a smooth experience.
This event proved that fun and sustainability can go hand in hand. In fact, it showed just how easy it is to make a positive impact while having a great time!
