Event Overview
Tough Mutter is an obstacle course race designed for dog owners to participate with their pets. It offers two distances: a 5 km course with at least 38 obstacles and a 10 km course with at least 53 obstacles. Each obstacle is marked to indicate whether it can be attempted with a dog, or if the dog must be secured at a tie-up point while the human participant completes it.
Course Details
The event takes place on the Aske estate near Richmond, North Yorkshire. The off-road routes go through varied terrain including marsh, bog, woodland, and rough hilly ground, as well as tracks and fields. The course concludes with an 850-meter assault course featuring deep mud and water and at least 24 more obstacles. The obstacles are large, tightly spaced, and many have multiple components requiring climbing, jumping, wading, swinging, and crawling.
