Things are hotting up at Tough Mudder HQ for the
annual pilgrimage to Loughcrew in Co. Meath for the world’s toughest and most
fun obstacle course. Taking place on July 20th& 21stit is expected to
attract over 5,000 participants this year. With two routes to choose from, the
Classic 8 Mile and 5K both offer participants the opportunity to test their
physical and mental strength whilst having fun in the mud and enjoying the
camaraderie of fellow Mudders.
Featuring a host of favourite obstacles including
Block Ness Monster (Voted Best obstacle of 2018), Arctic Enema (an ice bath
that will chill you to the core), Everest (¼ pipe that requires a good starting
run in order to get to the top) and Electroshock Therapy (10,000 volts that
will bring out moves that you didn’t know you had). The addition of the
40ft Mudderhorn for 2019 has generated much excitement for this year’s
event.
It's big, it’s bold, it’s fun and it is attracting
an increasing number of female mudders in 2019. You’d think that taking on a
challenge like Tough Mudder might discourage female participation but the
opposite is true. In 2019 there will be a whopping 39% of female participants
taking on the challenging course.
Females from across the country are flocking to
Tough Mudder to prove that anything boys can do girls can do better and, in
many cases, faster. Roz Purcell is amongst the many female participants who
have taken on the course on multiple occasions enjoying the camaraderie of
fellow mudders, taking great pride in completing the challenge.
Participants finishing the Classic 8 Mile and 5K
event receive much admiration and applause as they make their way through the
final obstacle before claiming their coveted headband, finisher t-shirt and
well-earned post-event refreshments.
If you think you are bold and brazen enough to take
on the challenge sign up today at www.toughmudder.ie. We have faith in you. Now it’s time to
have faith in yourself. #girlpower #herecomethegirls
