IS TOUGH MUDDER A RACE?
Tough Mudder 5K and 10K are not races. A Tough Mudder event is a personal challenge with the goal of overcoming obstacles and completing the course. This is why we do not time people on our Tough Mudder Kids, 5K or 10K courses and why we try to avoid using the word “race” when describing our events.
How Much Running is There at Tough Mudder?
That depends on your event: You can choose 5K or 10K depending on the event location. But any all-out sprinting (or jogging…or walking…these events aren’t timed, you can go at your own pace) will be broken up by our world-class obstacles.
Can You Do Tough Mudder Alone? Do I Need Team?
You sure can. Participants can run as individuals and there will be plenty of people on course to help when needed. From the start line experience through the last obstacle you will have many new friends willing to lend you a helping hand where needed.
How do I Join a Team?
If you want to run at the same time as your friends and family we will advise that you book together to make sure you are all booked in the same category and time slot.
Have a group of 10 or more people?
From company team building to birthday parties and charity fundraisers, for groups of 10+ there is no better way to be Tougher Together. Our group ticket packages allow you to feel like a VIP.
