"A death waiver must be signed prior to the event"

"A quarter of participants do not reach the finish line"

"Probably the toughest event on the planet"

Just some of the comforting snippets found when googling 'Tough Mudder'.

'Toughest event on the planet' may be a slight exaggeration, but it does seem slightly daunting... 17 km of rolling hills, knee deep mud, ice baths, electrocutions and fire, I can think of better ways to spend a Saturday afternoon...

So with 2 weeks to go, it's time to put down the beer glass and find those running shoes!

We're trying to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, so if you can spare a couple of quid, it would be hugely appreciated.

Wish us luck!
