My story

 

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

The 27th Of July 2008, will see the 3M Spartan's take to the Tough Guy course.

What is Tough Guy?

The original, held in Perton near Wolverhampton, is organised in England by former British Army Officer Billy Wilson (Mr Mouse), who claims nobody has ever finished all the course according to his extremely demanding rules. Taking place at the end of January, Tough Guy consists of an eight country mile run including an assault course. Running the course involves risking barbed wire, cuts, scrapes, burns, hypothermia, acrophobia, claustrophobia, sprains, twists, joint dislocation and broken bones.

Nettle Warrior which came later in 1998, is the summer version of "Tough Guy", and is run at the end of July. Though the course is essentially the same as Tough Guy, there are notable differences. Nettle Warrior involves two laps of the killing fields (extending the course by 2 miles) and a log carry (part of "The Lake" obstacle).
