If you missed seeing the first Alberta Tough Mudder last year, head up to Dinosaur Downs this weekend to get an idea of what the hype is about.
Spectator registration online is available until midnight, this Friday, September 4 for $20. After that, spectators are able to pay $40 at the gate on either event day to go and cheer on their favourite Tough Mudder.
Tough Mudder General Manager Nick Cogger says this year the Drumheller event is very viewer friendly. The majority of their showcase obstacles will be on the infield of the track at Dinosaur Downs. There, spectators can cheer on their favorite Mudders. Some of these obstacles include classics like the Arctic Enema, Walk the Plank and Electroshock Therapy. There are new ones including Funky Monkey.
Spectators are welcome to bring lawn chairs, umbrellas and snacks to enjoy the day. Make sure you dress for the weather.
Away from the action on the course, there is lots to do on site. There will be food and beverages for sale, food trucks and a beer garden located on at the Stampede Grounds. There will also be music and displays from sponsors.
Another new addition to Tough Mudder is Muddy Munchkins. This is a small demo course for kids ages six and up to try out some similar obstacles that parents may be taking on.
Whether you are there to check out the action, thinking about trying out another year, or cheering on a loved one, make this weekend a Tough Mudder weekend.
