Tough Mudder Manchester returns to Heaton Park in October 2022 - how to sign up

Heaton Park is hosting the gruelling obstacle course event Tough Mudder again on 22-23 October.

Brave participants can enter as individuals or groups and choose between the classic 5k course, which has 13 obstacles or the new 10k course, which has 20.

Each of the obstacles – which are designed to test physical and mental endurance, as well as teamwork – has its own appropriately intimidating name, such as Kiss of Mud, an army crawl through mud underneath barbed wire, Arctic Enema, a giant ice bath, and Electroshock Therapy, a dash through 10,000 volts of electricity.

Other challenges include climbing over walls, monkey bars, a smoke chamber and the gauntlet run.

For the first time ever, there will also be water obstacles for contestants to try.

Children are welcome to give it a go as well with the one-mile Lidl Mudder Adventure.

It’s not just for those at their physical peak either. The courses are open to people of all fitness levels, age and size.

Matthew Brooke, Managing Director of Tough Mudder said: “Tough Mudder Manchester is always great fun - we’re excited to be back!

Perfect for newcomers and seasoned pros, this weekend of events is really made for everyone to try, so we welcome all to come down and get involved.

We promise you won’t regret it.”

Registration for the 5k events starts at £79, and the 10k event is £90. The Lidl Mudder event costs £10 to register. There are also group package deals available.

Completing the course gets you a free Tough Mudder headband, shirt and drink.

More information and details on how to register can be found on the Tough Mudder website.
