Adult Tough Guy & Gal Challenge - Rotorua
The Middleware Adult Tough Guy and Gal Challenge at Lakes Ranch in Rotorua is an off‑road obstacle event held on Saturday 21 August 2027 with entries opening 1 November 2026. The course is designed to be equivalent in challenge to a 6 km cross country race, and the venue offers two event options:
- 12 km approx. two laps
- 6 km approx. one lap
The course includes a variety of obstacles such as mud pits, climbing walls and crawling tunnels set on rugged terrain, farmland and natural bushland. Obstacles are not electrified and may be skipped if a participant feels uncomfortable, but skipped obstacles make participants ineligible for podium placings.
Team entries are available for the 6 km option only. Teams require a minimum of five members with at least two female members. Team placings are calculated by adding the top five individual finishing positions.
Additional event details: registration takes place at Lakes Ranch, where facilities include hot showers, a large heated pool, parking and basic accommodation. Covered footwear is compulsory; molded studs are permitted while spikes and aluminium studs are not. Entries are limited to 1,500 competitors per day and minimum age is 13 years for adult events. Personalized bib names are available for entries completed by 6 August. Refunds and transfers follow published policies and entries are non refundable in certain circumstances.
