Ready to fly high? Tough Mudder is returning to a fan-favorite course at the Rockford International Airport for a weekend chock-full of legendary obstacles, shoe-sucking mud and miles of tough terrain—all just an hour from Chicago.


Just like Chicago’s iconic skyline, this course rises to the occasion with miles of muddy mayhem. Don’t let those brief but glorious Chicago summer days slip away without sneaking in some good, not-so-clean fun. Keep reading to see what Chicago has in store for you.

The Dirty Details

  • Date: August 23 & 24, 2025
  • Venue: Rockford International Airport
  • Location: 1.5 hours from Chicago, 2 hours from Milwaukee 
  • Distance: 5K, 15K, Tough Mudder Infinity (8 hours) 

Meet Your Muddy Match

Get ready to trudge through sandy mud thicker than your beloved deep dish pizza, Tough Mudder Chicago is back and better than ever. Consistently one of the most attended events in North America, Chicago hosts one of our biggest, baddest, muddiest venues you won’t want to miss.

Mainly crop fields, but with some wooded trails scattered throughout, this flat and fast course is perfect for newcomers or those looking to stretch their legs and rack up the laps during the eight-hour Infinity.

Expect to splash through creek crossings and slip in some mudslides thanks to those trusty midwest rivers running through the venue.

From the roar of your teammates cheering you on to the post-event festivities featuring Chicago’s favorite food trucks and frosty finisher brews, this event is electric from start to finish.

Don’t Stop the Party There…

We’re just getting started. Check out Prairie Street Brewing Co, which sits right along the Rock River in Downtown Rockford, to continue the afternoon festivities. Next, see all the Windy City has to offer and spend the rest of your weekend exploring Chicago’s sights. There’s so many things to do in Chicago, we suggest taking a food tour, catching a Cubs game, or kayaking the Chicago river.

Think you’ve got the heart and hustle to take on the midwest mud? Sign up today and see how Chicago gets it done.
