This is it. Tough Mudder Challenge – Fiji starts here. Below you will find the four mandatory activities that you need to complete and track to be considered a Tough Mudder Challenge finisher (and earn your sweet new headband). Over the 21 days that the Challenge runs for, we’ll be adding new rounds of activities in addition to the mandatory ones below. There will be four additional ones each week to keep you on your toes, and you’ll have to complete at least two to cross the finish line.
Make sure you join our Tough Mudder UK Challenges Facebook Group to share your adventure, cheer on others and get motivated.
The Activities You Must Complete
Mudder, these are your compulsory activities. To be considered a Tough Mudder Challenge finisher (and to earn your swag) you’ll need to complete these four tasks within 21 days. These aren’t for the fainthearted and they’re going to take determination and mental strength. We know you’ve got it in you.
Viti Levu
Putting one foot in front of the other, that’s how you’ll smash through the 106km (66 miles) needed to complete this activity. We’re trecking across Fiji’s widest island and you can get across it however you like; running, cycling, swimming or maybe even rollerblading.
Level Up: Rolling your eyes at the ease of it? Show us you mean business and complete your 106km/66 miles every week for three weeks.

Mount Tomanivi

Island Hopping
So you’ve always dreamed of island hopping your way around a tropical paradise? Well…this isn’t much like that. We want to see 333 reps of lateral jumps, 333 reps of mountain climbers and 333 reps of jump squats. (There are 333 islands in Fiji, in case you just thought we were picking arbitary numbers to hurt you with).
Level Up: Complete the full activity (that’s 999 reps) each week, for the three weeks of the Challenge. That’s gotta burn.
What is 1 Repetition? Lateral Jumps – Each lateral bound is 1 Rep. For example, 1 left lateral bound followed by 1 right lateral bound (returning to your starting location) would be 2 total Reps. Mountain Climbers – Each time your knee tucks to your chest is 1 Rep. For example, 1 left knee tuck followed by 1 right knee tuck would be 2 total Reps.

No peeking. And no getting out until you’ve named every. single. one.
Level Up: Forget 15, call to mind all 25 obstacles on the list. Plus, you might want to throw on your kit before you hit the H2O, you’ll need to hop straight out and run 5K.

Quarantine Cuts
Long lockdown locks are no longer in style. Get your friends or family to transform your hair – the more imaginative the better (no, trimming an inch off doesn’t count).
Level Up: Go it alone, at least then you’ll only have yourself to blame. Embrace change and transform your own hair.

Eco-warrior

If you fancy a different eco-challenge, then commit to going single-use plastic free for 3 days.
Level Up: Keep going Challenger, fill a large rubbish bag with litter and enjoy feeling smug about good you are for the rest of the day.
Levelling-up on being plastic free? Great. No single-use plastic for you for 7 days, Mudder.
