Tough Guy
By Charlie • Jan 29th, 2008 • Category: Challenges
What is Tough Guy? It is the original survival ordeal, a test of physical and mental endurance designed to take you beyond your limits on torture rack obstacles known as The Killing Fields. All after a wild terrain ‘warm up’. It is held annually on the last Sunday in January and July. The total distance of this event is unknown (and those that compete say it’s  too horrible to remember) but current estimates are around 11miles. Mainly uphill. And then the obstacle course begins.
Here are some of the Killing Fields Obstacles:
Gruelling Country Miles - This largely unknown and mystical of the first obstacles comes with this helpful advice: “As a guide to how long it’ll take you to get round, a good rule of thumb is to double your 10 mile run time.”
Fiery Holes
Slalom
Emerging from the Underwater Tunnels
Berlin Wall
Stalag Escape
