Stoke Obstacle Races

Rough Runner returns to Manchester once more in 2019 having hosted over 18,000 people in the past 4 years, and will be bringing a fresh host of obstacles to a new venue with (hopefully) better weather!

Inspired by TV game shows like Total Wipeout, Gladiators, Takeshis Castle and Ninja Warrior, this is the only event that will give you the chance to take on a load of epic obstacles that youve only ever seen on screen and always wanted to try.

Well have a 5km route with around 10 obstacles, a 10km route with 15, and all 20 obstacles on our 15km route if youre up for the toughest challenge. We never do laps at Rough Runner, but everyone who joins us for the game show-inspired journey will cross the Travelator at the finish line. So you can consider that particular childhood dream fulfilled!

By taking part in Tough 10 you are helping to beat cancer sooner.

The entry fee covers the cost of putting on the event so the more fundraising we receive, the more life-saving research we can support.

We know it can sometimes be difficult to ask friends and family for sponsorship, so if you prefer, you can enter and make a personal donation alongside your entry fee. Simply choose the relevant option on the entry form.

A 5k or 10k assault course in the beautiful and dramatic parkland setting location of Osmaston Manor in Derbyshire. The swampy terrain, undulating hills and magnificent wooded areas allow us to utilise what nature has given us to make this the muddiest race in the World! With over 60 obstacles in the full distance, expect to encounter mud, water, tunnels, monkey bars, fire, giant walls, cargo nets, balance beams, hurdles, tightropes and more mud.
