Meet the X that bounces
This May, Outdoor X is celebrating Adventure X, Lifestyle X, Garden X, Braai X and more. The Gauntlet is adding a little inflatable X to the mix.
As the X that bounces, South Africa’s largest inflatable obstacle course is heading to Outdoor X 2026 with 36 obstacles stretched across 270 metres of climbing, sliding and bouncing mayhem.
Whether you’re taking on the course with friends, bringing the family along for the adventure, or attempting to survive the Balls of Doom with your dignity intact, The Gauntlet is designed for all ages, all fitness levels and maximum fun.
Why Outdoor X?
Outdoor X brings together some of South Africa’s biggest names in outdoor lifestyle, adventure and entertainment, with partners and exhibitors including ELXV, HOT 102.7FM, JETOUR South Africa, Getaway Garden and Home and more, all packed into one adrenaline-filled weekend experience.
Which makes it the perfect place for the X that Bounces.
Between the off-road vehicles, outdoor gear, lifestyle experiences and live entertainment, The Gauntlet brings 270 metres of climbing, sliding, bouncing chaos to one of South Africa’s biggest outdoor lifestyle expos.
Honestly, it fits in a little too well.
