5K: 3 miles, 13 obstacles

Tough Mudder 5K is pulling out all the stops for an epic bash so fun you’ll have no choice but to have the time of your life. It all starts and ends in Mudder Village with killer live entertainment, epic games and challenges, authentic local food, and a never ending-supply of Mudder Nation camaraderie. After you’re done crushing the course, the good times keep rolling with a frosty cold finisher beer and your new best friends from course.

Classic and Tougher Mudder: 8-10 miles, 25 obstacles

Tough Mudder Classic is an epic return to our badass roots in the form of 8-10 miles packed with more obstacles than ever before (25 to be exact). In 2019, we’ve taken innovation to the extreme with 10 new or updated obstacles on every single course for maximum limit-testing, goal-crushing EPIC. You’ll test your limits physically and mentally and cross the finish line stronger than you started, with your fellow Mudders by your side every step of the way.

There’s no better place to prove to yourself that you’ve got what it takes to demolish any goal you set in 2019 than Tough Mudder Classic. Because that ice-cold free finisher beer tastes even better when you’ve earned it.

Please arrive 45 minutes before your assigned start time to ensure you can park, check in, drop your bag, and get to the Warm Up Zone 20 minutes before your start time. START TIMES WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED.

Are teams required to finish together? Team members are not required to finish the course together. While we place an emphasis on teamwork and camaraderie, Tough Mudder leaves this decision at each team member's sole discretion.

Will start times be enforced? Yes! Your start time will be sent approximately 11 days before event day. No need to bring proof – your start time will be linked to your ticket, so make sure to bring a printed or digital copy of your ticket and your photo ID.

What does my start time mean? What time should I get to the event? Your start time is the estimated time you will start the course. For example, a participant assigned 8:00am will start in the 8:00am or 8:15am wave.

Can I skip obstacles? Yes.Tough Mudder is not a race, nor is it about getting a better time than other competitors, so it's fine by us if you want to skip an obstacle. The way we see it, you are there to have fun and challenge yourself. If you think a particular obstacle really isn't going to do this for you, just go around it - without a penalty or shame. Anyone who is at risk of our electric-related obstacles (due to medical concerns) or cannot swim (and would have a difficult time in water) is strongly advised to skip these obstacles, as safety is held at a premium at Tough Mudder. Please speak with a doctor before coming to Tough Mudder, as they can evaluate your specific circumstances.
