build it and they will come.

Step 1. Team Size

Once you’ve recruited one mate, you’ve got a team. And there’s no cap on how many people you can have it your team. But don’t fret if you only have a few or even on your own – you’ll find an army of teammates on course at any TM event. There is no perfect team size. So, consider it a challenge! The bigger, the better! Remember to make sure everyone joins your team on Active to ensure everyone gets the same start time!

Step 2. Team Name

Get creative… Every year we see “Tough Mothers” and “Brothers in Mud” but we know you can do better than that.

3. Recruit your team

Key to making your Tough Mudder experience as memorable as possible is all about the people you choose to help hoist your muddy ass over a 2m high wall.
Grab your mates, colleagues, gym buddies, Mum, Dad, Grandma, sister, cousin-in-law and neighbour. Most importantly you want teammates with the right attitude, we recommend asking everyone on your team to recite the Tough Mudder pledge.

• Tough Mudder is not a race but a challenge
• I put teamwork and camaraderie before my course time
• I do not whine, kids whine
• I help my fellow Mudders complete the course
• I overcome all fears

Take it from us, you’ll probably want to wear tights or compression bottoms that will help keep you dry, warm, and protect your knees. They’ll also keep mud from getting into places where the sun don’t shine. No one wants that.
On top, kit the team out in matching tops, for maximum team camaraderie, and it’ll also help you identify your teammates when they’re inch deep in mud.
Or if you’re feeling really creative, we love costumes.
