Here we are the start of the journey. My first Tough Mudder

Course

Tough Mudder Yorkshire takes place at Broughton Hall, Skipton, North Yorkshire. It is enowned as one of the muddiest and most physically demanding events – and I can tell you the brutal hill on “Mud Mile” is where my legs gave in, and “Killa Gorilla” at the edge….OMG!!

The views are over the wild rolling landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales are amazing….even to me who went to school down the road in Skipton, I simply forgot how beautiful this part of the world is.

The course is brutal – and 15k course was an excellent introduction for me to Tough Mudding.

Grasmere Wild Trail Runs

Another trip to the Lake District, but this time the running shoes are coming with me.

The Grasmere Wild Trail Runs have been on my radar as exactly the sort of event that fits into the Tough Smudge journey. It isn't an obstacle race and it isn't about chasing a flat-road 10K time. This is about getting more experience running properly off-road, dealing with hills, changing surfaces and the sort of terrain that makes ten kilometres feel very different from ten kilometres on tarmac.

Tough Mudder: London West 2027

The first major endurance rehearsal. Tough Smudge heads to London West for an eight-hour Infinity on Saturday, before returning on Sunday for both the 15K and 5K. The Infinity target isn't a distance award. It's to complete the experience, learn from it and discover how much is left when it's time to go again.

Tough Mudder: London South 2026

The Tough Smudge journey heads to Holmbush Estate for Tough Mudder London South 2026. Another 15K, another 20+ obstacles and another chance to build experience, endurance and resilience on the road to World's Toughest Mudder 2027.
