Here at TMHQ we believe that getting out of your comfort zone and confronting your fears not only makes you a better person but gives you a buzz like no other. That’s why at Tough Mudder events this season we’re giving you the chance to face The Five Fear Challenge. The challenge has been set. Step the F%*k up.

What The Hell Is The Five Fear Challenge?

At our Tough Mudder events this year we’re giving you the chance to face five of the most primal fears and emerge from the mud the ultimate Tough Mudder.

To do this we’ve had to dig around in our back catalogue and drag some old favourites (tear gas anyone?) back into the light…

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. Three stories up 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

Slithering out from the history books Electric Eel is back. Not sufficed with one fear this obstacle combines three; water, small spaces and of course the fear of getting shocked.

3. Triumph over your fear of falling from Shawshanked

Ever had a nightmare where you’re falling from a great height? Prepare to experience the real life version thanks to Shawshanked.

4. Emerge from your fear of water with Cage Crawl

TMHQ shocked everyone when they brought this terrifying idea to life on courses across the country. Is there anything scarier than being submerged in merky water? We don’t think so.

Luckily, as part of Level Up Lanes whether you choose to face this fright is completely up to you.

5. Take down your fear of confined spaces (and tear gas) inside Cry Baby

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.
