Tough Mountain Challenege
July 25 - July 27
CAN YOU HANDLE IT? Tough Mountain Challenge has been New England’s most popular and fun adventure obstacle race since 2010. Set in the mountains of Maine, Tough Mountain delivers mud, sweat, and beer to 3,600 competitors every year. Are you tough enough to complete the challenge? 3+ miles. 20+ obstacles. 37 heats. 3000+ competitors.
At approximately 5k in length, it may look like an easy hike, but you’ll change your mind as soon as you take off running up a mountain under an arsenal of snowguns or scrambling through the mud. Tough Mountain Challenge is a timed event, but it’s not about whether you finish first or last—it’s about testing yourself and pushing your limits, then celebrating your accomplishment once you cross the finish line. Tough Mountain Challenge limits the number of competitors in the event and in each heat, so you won’t feel crowded or rushed on the course. It might be the most fun you’ll ever have while also considering crying.
The Mini Mountain Challenge falls the day after the Tough Mountain Challenge and attracts hundreds of kids looking for some muddy fun. We’re looking forward to our next event on July 28, 2024.
Mini Mountain is similar to Tough Mountain but designed for kids ages 4 through 12. It offers uphill and downhill running combined with dirt, mud, fun obstacles, snowguns, and more, with bigger challenges and longest distances for older kids.
The Mini Mountain Challenge is organized into three heats: 10 AM for ages 10-12, 10:30 AM for ages 7-9, and and 11 AM for ages 4-6. Course length and obstacles will vary for each age group to create experiences and levels of challenge to fit everyone based on ten years of making kids muddy. Everyone registered by May 31 is guaranteed a t-shirt in their requested size.
