As if walking through hell and back once wasn't enough.... We have decided to go and do it again in 2011....
The phenomena of Tough Guy has now evolved into cult status with mythical legends to a world wide audience and competitors from every continent coming here to try to beat the ordeal and enjoy the unique spirit of friendship and amiability.
It is set in over 150 acres of fertile land where spring waters will wash away miseries and replace them with smiles of achievement .
Each year a new theme is built into Tough Guy this ensures that it remains the worlds safest, most dangerous taste of mental and physical pain and one of the toughest endurance events in Europe. Tough Guy will always be a physically challenging, mentally demanding, fear inducing visual spectacular. After taking part maybe Matt and Neil will understand why thousands keep coming back, year after year to experience some of the most demanding yet rewarding challenges of their life!
Yohimbe!
Tough Guy have searched the world amongst military and security forces to find any unit with a more demanding ONE DAY survival training ordeal. The US Navy S.E.A.L.S. 'Grinder' Assault Course is our nearest rival. They admire that no S.E.A.L. would ever desert a colleague and that on completion of each endurance discipline they shout 'Hoo-yah', their own unique cry of triumph. Tough Guy has the Buddy Devotion and now they have their own cry - 'Yohimbe'. Only on completion of the event will competitors be told the derivation of the word..........
Tough guy is open to both individuals and teams. The event is uniquely fear ridden and competitors need to be fit in both body and spirit to survive the ordeal. They will not be alone, thousands will be by their sides and there they will find the true spirit of Tough Guy. Tough Guy is played on the glorious pasture at Mr Mouse Farm for Unfortunates, as the name implies the charitable work is undertaken 365 days each year looking after hundreds of retired horses, wildlife habitats and providing jobs for unfortunate people.
