Obstacle Design Challenge 2021: The Wackiest Entries So Far

Author: Tough Mudder September 2, 2021

obstacle design competition

The wild minds from all over Mudder Nation has been sending in their obstacle designs which have clearly been fuelled by many months of pent up energy and inspired by being back at events this summer. And we love it.

Which one is your favourite so far?

Net Flips & Chill

Combining a relaxing vibe with the scary thought of being trapped underwater like a lobster, this obstacle would require a fair bit of mental fortitude. We’re just not sure if we are quite ready for the next episode.

Wrecking Ball

There is a lot to unpack here. People are swinging, things are being thrown and you end up smashing into a brick wall. We love the general chaos on display in this deisgn. 

Electric Avenue

This is shocking. An electrified zip wire? While you slide through more electric tentacles? Really taking Electroshock Therapy up a level. Literally. 

Shake ‘n Bake

Now this one is really tough. Balance on a single line, while it moves around, and try to make your way to the other side. Oh, and if you fall (which you will)  you land in a water pit filled with electricity. Wow. Bonus points for using a “Reciprocating Linear Actuator” in your design (if only we knew what that was). 

The Innovation Lab is open + the design competition is back again for another year.
