GO FACE-TO-FACE WITH BABY CROCS AND MORE AT TOUGH MUDDER’S SEASON-ENDING UAE SHOWDOWN

Tough Mudder, the world-famous obstacle course racing

challenge, hosts its season-finale in Ras Al Khaimah later this month, where participants will face the

frightening prospect of navigating obstacles which include live animals such as baby crocodiles,

piranhas and electric eels.

Having already staged four events in KSA this year, including the inaugural Tough Mudder Infinity Al

Ula, Tough Mudder returns to Mina Al Arab, Ras Al Khaimah on Saturday April 20th, in association

with RAK Properties, official location partner of the challenge.

Those looking to take on the 5km or 10km course will now face an even tougher challenge with the

addition of “Muddy Waters”, a section which will see live animals introduced to the event for the first

time.

The “Muddy Waters” element will comprise three new water-themed obstacles; the Croc Crawl,

Piranha Pond and Electro Eel Therapy – ensuring participants will not only have to combat the

traditional Tough Mudder challenges, but also outsmart the animals in their natural habitat.

Nic Cartwright, Tough Mudder Middle East License Holder, said: “Following a hugely successful

season, we want to ensure our final event lives long in the memory and we believe that by

introducing live animals into the mix, participants will experience a once-in-a-lifetime challenge.

“It’s not every day you come face-to-face with a baby crocodile, piranha or electric eel, meaning this

could potentially be more of a mental challenge than physical for some taking part, who certainly

won’t want to look foolish.

“Either way, it will undoubtedly make for an entertaining spectacle, and we look forward to bringing

the curtain down on the season in unique fashion.”

Over the course of the season, Tough Mudder challenges have attracted a combined total of over

20,000 competitors at locations including Dubai and Fujairah.

The KSA Swing, at the start of the year, saw Tough Mudder host events in Riyadh, Jeddah and

Dammam, before Tough Mudder Infinity, the region’s inaugural eight-hour endurance challenge, took

place in the ancient city of Al Ula.
