Here at TMHQ we believe that getting out of your comfort zone and confronting your fears not only makes you a better person, but it also gives you an adrenaline rush like no other. That’s why in 2024 we’re giving you the chance to face The Five Fear Challenge.
The formula is simple, though the execution is not. Conquer Tough Mudder and feel the transformation firsthand.
What The Hell Is The Five Fear Challenge?
At Tough Mudder events next year we’re giving you the chance to face five of the most primal fears, to feel a level of accomplishment you’ll remember long after the mud washes off.
What Are The Five Fear Challenge Obstacles?
1. Overcome your fear of heights on Mudderhorn
We’ve watched many a Mudder stand at the base of this beast and decide it was too much. A three-story climb is no joke, but once you’ve touched down on the other side, there’s no going back to the person you were before.
2. Face your fear of electricity inside Electric Eel
Water conducts electricity – and so will you. Crawl through this shallow pit of water through a field of electrically charged wires. Quickly.
Oh and while you’re dodging the cables, try to squeeze below the electrified bar hanging overhead.
“But what happens if I bump into the bar?” … We’ll leave that up to your imagination…
3. Triumph over your fear of claustrophobia with Cage Crawl
Is there anything scarier than being submerged in murky water? We don’t think so.
Pull yourself through this 48′ watery trench under a steel fence with only a couple inches to breathe, and see what your mental toughness is capable of.
Go ahead, take a dip and prove you’ve got the grit to tackle our take on treading water in tight places.
4. Freeze your fear of the cold with Arctic Enema
Don’t let a splash of cold water give you cold feet. Take a dunk in our 34 degree ice pit.
Chilled with approximately 20,000 lbs of ice every weekend, the pit is shocked with several thousand pounds in advance and then topped off throughout Saturday and Sunday to keep it just above freezing.
5. Unlock a new form of sensory and take down your fear of tear gas inside Cry Baby
This smoky chamber will test your ocular training regimen – no, really, we mean it when we say there won’t be a dry eye on course.
Okay, so maybe not everyone has an innate fear of being teargassed, but we’re pretty sure you’re still gonna be bricking it before you face this famous (and fairly insane) Tough Mudder obstacle.
Think you can handle the Five Fear Challenge? Join us at Tough Mudder to face your fears head on and prove yourself fearless. 2024 tickets available now.
