Tough Mudder London West 2021

Tough Mudder is back with the first UK race in 2021 at “Hilly Henley”. Tough Mudder London West 2021 was over a 13km course and had over 300m of elevation gain across the hills and valleys. I’m pretty sure a change in route from the 2019 course. The race, in July was still being held within lockdown rules. Tough Mudder were limited to only 4,000 participants each day – definitely less than half than what they would usually expect at a Tough Mudder

All the classics were on course including Blockness, Everest and Funky Monkey. Whilst some classics have returned – Electric Eel and Cry Baby. A few new obstacles made their Tough Mudder debut including Tipping Point (a crawl through a tube which is hinged like a see saw – sliding you into a pool of water) and Well Swing – jumping to a swing to attempt to hit a bell before falling into water

With the lockdown rules, there were a few changes made to ensure we were kept as safe. Masks were worn within the village (could be removed on course). Hand sanitizer available before each obstacle (personally I think this is a waste of time). Spacing dots on the floor for the warm up to ensure social distancing. Pyramid Scheme has not yet made an appearance. It’s very much a high touch obstacle so I think it will be rested for 2021 at least.

My Thoughts

Tough Mudder London West 2021 was a great debut to the Tough Mudder season and I really enjoyed it, after being my first TM for around 22 months. The weather was absolutely amazing which meant that the water obstacles including the ever freezing Arctic Enema was a welcome relief.

Due to the lockdown rules though, the atmosphere in the village wasn’t quite there. It all seemed a little “empty” – people were asked to come no more than 30 minutes before their run and to leave site as soon as they could. As the season continues, this will pick up I am sure!

Great to see so many vendors in the village including a lot of independents (need to really try those chocolate brownies at some point!)

Awesome start to the Tough Mudder season, felt hillier than it normally is – possibly as its been a while at Henley. Cannot wait to see how the rest of the season pans out

Great course, great route. Fantastic new obstacles. Unfortunately due to lockdown restrictions, there were fewer participants allowed on site. This definitely led to a flatter vibe on course and in the village. Onwards and upwards!
