THE WILDEST (AND MOST AWESOME) OBSTACLE DESIGN COMPETITION IDEAS SO FAR

Mudders, you never let us down. Every year you blow our minds with your ability to pull up your sleeves and design your heart out. Whether it’s a totally bonkers mix up of much-loved on course experiences or a completely knew teamwork-demanding challenge, you impress us every time. And this year is no different.

We simply had to share with you just a few samples of the amazing creativity and to be honest, quite insane ideas that have landed in our inbox so far. So sit back and relax and pray to the Tough Mudder Gods that these not all of these obstacles make their way onto course next year.

THE ROCK NESS

(Block Ness Obstacle Evolution) Cylinders with rock climbing grips. This is an obstacle where team work is paramount, as they turn easily in the water. A known fan favourite with a twist. Guaranteed to rock your kilt off.

THE DORODANGO

This obstacle is giving me Mudderhorn vibes but with a twist. Climb up the cargo net and slide down the big inflatable slide.

Muddles Maze

Enter the maze and try to get through to the other end. Be careful this could be a muddy one.

THE SOS

The SOS dots and dashes to travel underneath over mud or water.

Have these epic designs inspired you to pick up a pen (or a loo roll?) you still have plenty of time to enter this year’s Obstacle Design Competition.

Check out our other obstacles for some inspiration.
