Tough Mudder South West 2024

Tough Mudder South West 2024

‪Tough  Mudder‬ mixed up the course a little by reversing the route which made for a little bit of fun. Whilst the course is relatively flat compared to other obstacle runs, at least TM found all the undulations. Loved Funky Monkey being out on course and the final “gauntlet” of obstacles in the last mile.

All the favourite obstacles were on show includin a very muddy Mud Mile – but at least you can “wash off” in BlockNess. Arctic Enema was particularly dark – heres a tip – always keep your mouth closed!

Electroshock therapy seemed to be particularly evil – water pit and hay bales!

Video was from 10am – we ran both the 5mile course and 10 mile course, so you may see a mix in timings (for those with an eagle eye!)

Tough Mudder South West 2024 final thoughts

Whilst the course was reversed compared to other years, it still doesnt have a lot of character for me. Lots of running loops just to make up the distance with (at times) obstacles few and far between. The shorter 5mile route is more obstacle dense – but you do miss out on Funky Monkey!

Positives
  • Very spectator friendly
  • Trails without the elevation
Negatives
  • Some very long sections before any obstacles
  • You can see the loops which make it a little disheartening
