Tough Mudder 10+ miles (15k): 20+ obstacles

Endurance Series:
Tough Mudder Infinity: A multi-lap competitive endurance experience, Toughest Mudder: 12 hours, through the night, how many miles can you run?
World’s Toughest Mudder: the most extreme, insane, imposing, pulse-pounding, heart-stopping 24-hour obstacle course challenge on the planet.
How Long Will it Take?
The average finish time for a Tough Mudder 3-5 miles (5-8k) is 2-2.5 hours; for Tough Mudder 10 miles (15k) it’s 3.5-4 hours and Infinity is anything up to 8 hours. That said, Tough Mudder 3-5 miles and 10+ miles aren’t timed races, so you (or your team) can go at your own pace. How long an event will take you depends on your level of fitness, your experience, and whether or not you’ve been training.
Is Tough Mudder a race?
Tough Mudder 3-5 miles (5-8k) and 10+ miles (15k) 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 Lidl Mudder, 3-5 miles and 10+ mile courses and why we try to avoid using the word “race” when describing our events.

For those Mudders interested in competition, we offer a competitive Endurance Series, consisting of Tough Mudder Infinity, Toughest Mudder and World’s Toughest Mudder.
IS THERE A MINIMUM AGE TO COMPLETE TOUGH MUDDER?
Yes, in Australia Tough Mudder 3-5 mile (5-8k), and 10+ mile (15k) participants must be at least 14 years old.

Any participants under the age of 18 taking part in the Tough Mudder 3-5 mile (5-8K), Tough Mudder 10 + miles (15+K) will need to be accompanied on course by a chaperone who is 18+ years old.
HOW MUCH RUNNING IS THERE AT TOUGH MUDDER?
That depends on your event: You can choose 3-5 miles (5-8k) or 10+ miles (15k) 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. Want to raise your running game? Our expert running tips will help you kick butt between obstacles.
Can You Do Tough Mudder Alone? Do I Need Team?
You’ll need help from your fellow Mudders to conquer some of Tough Mudder’s most insane obstacles, but you DON’T need a team to register for a Tough Mudder event.
How do I Join a Team?
If you want to run at the same time as your friends and family you will need to create and join a team in Active. Once you have booked your tickets a team captain will need to login to Active and create a team, the other members of the team will then need to sign into Active and join the team.
What Should I Wear to Tough Mudder?
1. A good, comfy pair of running shoes (that you’re not too attached to) with good cushioning, traction, and drainage.
2. Form-fitting, light weight, breathable gear (always check the weather and adjust accordingly). Avoid cotton as it retains moisture and may cause chafing.
What Should I Bring to Tough Mudder?
1. A Positive Attitude
2. ID + your digital ticket on your smartphone
