Tough Mudder
July 9, 2016 - July 10, 2016
Tough Mudder is a team-oriented 10 plus mile obstacle course designed to test physical strength and mental grit.
If you are looking to complete a challenging course, which includes obstacles such as ‘Arctic Enema,’ where participants plunge into icy water, ‘Berlin Walls’, a series of 10 foot high walls to conquer and the infamous ‘Everest’ a steep quarter pipe that requires courage and teamwork to summit, then look no further. The 10 plus mile course culminates with ‘Electroshock Therapy,’ where participants run through a field of wires carrying up to 10,000 volts of electricity.
Tough Mudder is all about camaraderie. It is not a timed race but a team challenge that allows participants to experience world-class obstacles they won’t find anywhere else. Tough Mudder is challenging for even the fittest of competitors as some of the obstacles are virtually impossible to complete alone, but the course is achievable for people of all backgrounds, if they work together.
In just over 5 years this 10 mile obstacle course challenge has attracted more than 2 million participants, with over 60 events in 7 countries in 2015 alone. Tough Mudder are partnering with Run Ireland for this Irish event which is expected to attract thousands of participants and spectators over the two day weekend event.
In 2016 we’re returning to Loughcrew where Tough Mudder Dublin, Presented by Merrell promises to push anyone who isn’t prepared to their limits. Another gut-busting course awaits – thick mud, rolling hills, deep woods and plenty of obstacles.
