4–5 September 2027 | Manchester | 15K & 5K — Both Days
Manchester, we’re coming back for more mud!
After the cold, wet, muddy adventure of 2026, when I completed six runs over two days, I’m returning to Manchester for another full weekend of Tough Mudder.
This time, there’s no elaborate endurance challenge planned, no ridiculous target for the number of finishes, and hopefully no unexpected detours around the course! Just four runs across the weekend, plenty of mud, and the opportunity to enjoy everything that makes Tough Mudder special.
Well, that’s the plan anyway. 😅
Bringing the Prickle Crew to Manchester! 🦔💛
What makes this weekend particularly special is that all four runs will be Prickle Crew events!
The Prickle Crew is all about bringing people together, whether you’re tackling your very first Tough Mudder, returning for another adventure, or simply looking for some friendly faces to share the mud with.
I’ll be taking part in both the 15K and 5K on Saturday and Sunday, and I’d love to see other members of the crew joining me.
There’s no expectation to be the fastest, strongest or most experienced. It’s about getting involved, encouraging each other, overcoming obstacles and having a great time along the way.
If you’re planning to take part in Manchester, why not join the Prickle Crew? You can find out more about the community, our planned runs and how to join us at prickle-crew.uk.
The Weekend Ahead
Four runs, two days, plenty of obstacles and, hopefully, plenty of familiar and new faces.
Manchester 2026 was about testing my endurance. Manchester 2027 is about sharing the experience.
Of course, with Tough Smudge, there’s always the possibility of another slightly questionable idea appearing before September…
Endure. Overcome. Make It Count.
MUDOMINATION AWAITS! 🦔💛
