One of the UK’s best known assault course races Tough Mudder is back for 2023 and promises a new ‘tougher course and new obstacles.
Taking place on Saturday 29 July and Sunday 30 July at Broughton Hall in Skipton, Tough Mudder is one for the whole family.
Tough Mudder is designed to challenge participants of all ages and abilities, including a one-mile Lidl Mudder event geared towards children.
For the grown-ups, there are three lengths of obstacle course to choose from - a 5km with 13 obstacles, a 10km with 20 obstacles and a 15km event with 30 obstacles. Plus there’s an additional Infinity event that’s all about endurance.
Iconic Tough Mudder obstacles include Everest, where runners pull each other up a greased 13' quarterpipe; Arctic Enema, where you’re plunged into icy water; and the Mudderhorn, a huge net to climb up and over.

With up to 10,000 people on every course, it’s an absolute haven for fitness enthusiasts and adrenaline junkies alike.
Whichever course you choose, you’re guaranteed two things - a lot of mud, and a lot of fun.
There’ll be events right across the UK this summer, including one that promises to be Europe’s Toughest Mudder in June.
Tough Mudder will even take a trip across the pond to the USA, where there’ll be the World’s Toughest Mudder event at the True Grit Ranch in Texas.
An enormous fan park is set to open in Leeds this month, ahead of Leeds United's FA Cup semi-final clash against Chelsea.
The Whites will be heading to Wembley on Sunday 26 April, but Leeds fans will be able to cheer them on in our home city too, thanks to this massive event from 4TheFans.
4TheFans will be turning the O2 Academy Leeds into an immersive, dedicated Leeds United fan park experience for this historic day.
Expect to watch all the action on the biggest screen in Leeds, plus there'll be world-class sound, a Sky Sports presenter, a fully-stocked bar, a dedicated 4TheFans presenter, DJs, and a genuine Leeds football legend providing analysis and banter.
And every time the ball hits the back of the net, pyrotechnics and other special effects will only add to the atmosphere.
It's been 39 years since our beloved Leeds reached an FA Cup semi-final, and now Daniel Farke’s side are just 90 minutes away from a place in the FA Cup Final.
Nearly 2000 fellow supporters will be able to come together under one roof in one of the city's most iconic venues, for what's shaping up to be the best atmosphere outside Wembley itself.
This really is the best alternative to being at the actual match, with 4TheFans’ proven track record of creating atmospheric fan parks for major sporting events.

We're particularly a fan of the latter.
And there's a few spots in Leeds where you'll be able to get those bad boys for just one pound.
