What’s it all about?

In its fourth year and second in Dunedin, this unique event will challenge you in so many ways. Winter doesn’t have to be dull, dark and boring anymore. Not, when you’ve got the Mud, Sweat and Tears Challenge to look forward to! This event is about having fun whilst challenging your physical and mental strength. The course is designed to be challenging and if you have average fitness, determination and a sense of fun, you will have a ball! Remember, the mud will wash off, but the memories will last forever. This event is open to guys and girls, but competitors must be 13 years and older. Compete as an individual or get a group of work mates, friends or the family together as a team and have a crack at this exciting event.

What’s involved?

The Dunedin Challenge is based at the picturesque Wingatui Race Course. The 5km or 10km (2×5 km laps) course will take you over the rugged hill behind the racecourse, through the surrounding pine tree plantation and of course into some muddy marshes. The course has some natural obstacles as well as some really entertaining and demanding obstacles that we have dreamed up. The course includes a mud slide, forest run, hay bale pyramid, a crawl under a sea of barbed wire, horse jumps, water jumps, wire rope bridges, mud runs, floating platforms and new obstacles are added each year. Challenge yourself in 2013 whilst having the time of your life.
