ARE YOU READY TO GET MUDDY IN 2024?

SUNDAY 10 NOVEMBER – ENTRIES OPEN NOW!!

The Mud, Sweat & Tears Challenge

Dunedin, Sunday 10th November, 2024

WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?

For nearly a decade this unique event has challenged you in so many ways. Mud, ice, tunnels, slides and more, this event is about having fun whilst challenging your physical and mental strength.

The course is designed to be challenging and if you have average fitness, determination and a sense of fun, you will have a ball! Remember, the mud will wash off, but the memories will last forever.

This event is open to guys and girls and includes the 5k Youth event for children aged 7-12 that was introduced in 2023.

 

Compete as an individual or get a group of work mates, friends or the family together as a team and have a crack at this exciting event.

Winter does not need to be dark, cold and gloomy, especially when you’ve got the ‘The Mud, Sweat and Tears Challenge’ to look forward to!

WHAT'S INVOLVED?


The Mud, Sweat and Tears Challenge is based at the picturesque Wingatui Race Course.

The course will take you over the rugged land, through the surrounding farmland and of course into some muddy marshes. The course has some natural obstacles as well as some really entertaining and demanding obstacles that we have dreamed up.

This years course will includes a mix of the following (and possibly a couple of new challenges): a forest run, hay bale pyramid, a crawl under a sea of barbed wire, horse jumps, water jumps, floating platforms and new obstacles are added each year. 

 

Challenge yourself whilst having the time of your life.
