The best Tough Mudder excuses

Just when you think you’ve heard every excuse imaginable, think again.

We’ve heard all kinds of reasons why people avoid running a Tough Mudder.

Ready for a chuckle? 😂

Check out some of the best excuses we’ve ever heard.

“It’s hair wash day”

Well lucky for you we have rinse stations available.

Would you like us to provide some shampoo?

*not available at select venues

“I can’t run a Tough Mudder, I’m already running a Marathon”

Marathons are boring…🥱 Do something fun for once.

“My dog ate my running shoes”

Meet Natalie who completed a Tough Mudder course with just 1 shoe after she lost it in Mud Mile 🤭 

What’s your excuse now?

“I don’t want to get Muddy”

Tough Mudder is no different to getting a Mud Mask at the spa… Trust us 😉

“I’ve already done one last year, ticked is off my bucket list”

Okay but have you tried our new venues and new distances?

Find out what’s new HERE.

“I haven’t got anyone to run with”

Join our solo wave.

No one is ever “alone” at Tough Mudder.

One team one dream 👊

“I’m not a good runner”

Who said anything about running? You can walk, skip or crawl your way through the course… Anything goes 😂

NO EXCUSES

This year, we’re all about a “no excuses” mindset.

It’s time to ditch the excuses, step up, and show up – not just for others, but for yourself too.

Sign up today and embrace the challenge.
