- Put all of your clothing and muddy shoes into your black bags.
- Give yourself a full wipe down using Mammoth Wipes.
- Get changed into your clean clothing.
- Pop on your clean shoes.
- Use the mammoth wipe to wipe down your face and hair if needed.

What do you wear to a mud run?
Compression shorts or pants will help wick away moisture, keep everything in place on race day, and keep mud to a minimum in sensitive body areas. Again, avoid cotton, even in your underwear. Your feet will probably be the first thing to get wet and muddy.
How fit do I need to be for Tough Mudder?
You can do at least 40 push-ups (women on the knees) and at least 5 pull-ups with good technique (women with a little help). You haven’t reached competition form quite yet, but you have a solid basic fitness. Train 3 times a week for 8 weeks, and you’ll be well prepared to attack Tough Mudder.
How old do you have to be to do pretty muddy?
13
Children aged 13 and above can join our Pretty Muddy® events! Adults accompanying children will run alongside the course, but will not be allowed to take part on the obstacles.
When to start running at an easy pace?
Once you’ve reached 30 minutes at your easy pace, you should aim to run at that pace for most of your training runs. Running at an easy pace several times a week allows you to focus on good form, helps your muscles learn to burn fat more efficiently, and teaches your lungs to utilize oxygen easier.
What’s the best pace for a tempo run?
You should also run a tempo run at a “comfortably hard” pace. One example of a tempo run would be to run a 5- to 10-minute warm-up, then run 15 to 20 minutes at a harder pace, and then cool down for 5 to 10 minutes.
How often should I increase my running speed?
As you gain more fitness, you may feel the desire to increase your speed. If you do, add one faster run per week. As you improve you may add two faster runs per week, but don’t push it. It is essential that you not overdo faster runs, as you risk injury or burn out.
