Mud, Sweat and Tears - TBC NSWNews Date: 19th April 2013Once again we return to where it all began – Tough Bloke Challenge NSW. Now in its 6th year and Australia's original obstacle race that started all this craziness that's taken the nation by storm. There will be Mud, Sweat and Tears however you approach the 7km course. With 20+ obstacles that stand in your way, it will take guts, strength and determination to crawl through mud, over hay bales, through pipes and pits with icy water. Just when you think it's nearly all over and you are close to the finish you will be confronted with the signature obstacle - Hells Gate. A high traverse across 10 meters of suspended rope that will test even the toughest competitor, drain you of the remaining strength and entertain the crowd below. Whether you are new to it all or out to prove yourself against mates, race the clock, set a personal challenge or it's just been too long since your last relaxing (mud) bath the Tough Bloke Challenge is for you. Open to Tough Blokes and Tough Chicks ages 12 and above. Mum's and Dads are you tougher than your kids? This great event takes place on Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th June in Appin, Sydney. Bring the family as spectators are FREE. The event centre will be buzzing with energy including an obstacle jumping castle for the kids. Early bird entry is $80 plus booking fee and includes a sports 'cool-dry' t-shirt, race number with electronic timing, water, finishers medal and of course a beer (for the over-18s).

Event Wrap Up, Results & Photos - TBC VICNews Date: 19th April 2013The mud was thick, the obstacles challenging and the lycra was bright but in amongst it all we still saw smiles as people crossed the finish line on a perfect Melbourne weekend. With a great mix of serious competitors and people just out to have fun, the event was swamped with Tough Chick's and Blokes and it didn't take long for the mud to be strewn across the course. The nut cracker did just that, the mud pit a participant favourite and Hells Gate left its signature rope burn on quite a few legs. One poor soul even lost his shorts in the swim across the dam, although we got the impression he wasn't too worried about that! We were excited to have the Obstacle Course Racing League join us this year and put in a double lap special on Saturday arvo with a showdown between winner William Lind and Matt Murphy. However Matt backed up with fastest time overall and took out 1st place in the Elite Category. Congratulations to all competitors who took place and we look forward to seeing you back for another crack at it next year. Results and photos are now available from the Results page. |

Supporting The McGrath FoundationNews Date: 23rd August 2012The McGrath Foundation is excited to be friends with the Tough Bloke Challenge in 2012. The McGrath Foundation was co-founded by Jane McGrath and her cricketing husband Glenn after Jane’s initial recovery from breast cancer. It was Jane’s personal experience that led her to believe that the McGrath Foundation should raise money to place McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities right across Australia, as well as to increase breast awareness in young Australian women. As of August 2012, the McGrath Foundation has helped support over 16,000 Australian families experiencing breast cancer, with 77 McGrath Breast Care Nurses working in communities right across Australia. They are halfway to their goal of 150 McGrath Breast Care Nurses to help ensure that every Australian family experiencing breast cancer has access to a breast care nurse, so we need your help! As a part of Tough Bloke Challenge 2013, there will be many ways you can help raise money for the McGrath Foundation, so stay tuned for more updates! |
