Tough Guy & Gal Challenge - Wellington
The Middleware Adult Tough Guy and Gal Challenge takes place at Camp Wainui, 203 Coast Road, Wainuiomata. The event uses off road terrain through native bush, farmland and water trails and includes a range of man made and natural obstacles such as mud pits, climbing walls, crawling tunnels and swamp crossings.
Course options
- 6 km approx. single lap
- 12 km approx. two laps
The 6 km course is designed to be equivalent to a 6 km cross-country course; actual distances may vary by venue and are calibrated by expected competitor times. All obstacles are non electrified. Participants may skip obstacles if they feel uncomfortable, but skipping disqualifies them from podium placings, and skipping to avoid a queue is not permitted.
