Tough Guy Challenge, Nettle Warrior XII, South Perton Farm, Jenny Walker Lane, Old Perton, South Staffordshire, Britain - 26 Jul 2009
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Robert Hallam / Rex Features ( 983969aa )
Tough Guy Race
TOUGH GUY RACE
The Tough Guy Challenge - aka Nettle Warrior XII - has evolved into one of the world's safest but hardest mental and physical endurance events, an eight-mile cross country run and an arduous assault course, known as the 'killing fields'.
More than 7,000 competitors from every continent attempted this physically challenging and mentally demanding event, which takes place twice a year - Tough Guy in January and Nettle Warrior in July.
The summer version is essentially the same course as Tough Guy but with some extra obstacles.
Running the course involves risking barbed wire, cuts, scrapes, burns, dehydration, hypothermia in winter, electric shocks, sprains and twists.
Due to the risks involved St. John's Ambulance workers provide first aid and each competitor must sign a "death warrant" acknowledging the dangers of taking part so that no claims can be made in case of injury.
Out of those that successfully finished the course in Perton, Staffordshire, 25 were dressed as Liquorice Allsorts.

Following the trench warfare in the poppy fields of Flanders, Belgium during World War I, poppies have become a symbol of remembrance of soldiers who have died during wartime.
Remembrance Day or Poppy Day has been observed since the end of the First World War to remember armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. In most countries, Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the end of First World War hostilities.
Pictured: Poppies grow in the shadow of the Sword of Sacrifice which stands in Rancourt Military cemetery one of the many hundreds of Commonwealth War Graves Cemeteries ( CWGC ) on the Somme battlefields of northern France.

Poppies grow in the shadow of the Sword of Sacrifice which stands in Rancourt Military cemetery one of the many hundreds of Commonwealth War Graves Cemeteries ( CWGC ) on the Somme battlefields of northern France. An unexploded shell from WW1 is placed by the cemetery wall awaiting collection by French Army Bomb squad.
Rancourt was captured by the French on 24 September 1916, and remained in Allied hands until 24 March 1918 and the German advance. It was recaptured by the 47th (London) Division on 1 September 1918.
The cemetery was begun by units of the Guards Division in the winter of 1916-17, and used again by the burial officers of the 12th and 18th Divisions in September 1918. After the Armistice, six graves from the surrounding battlefields were brought into Row E.
Rancourt Military Cemetery contains 93 burials and commemorations of the First World War. 20 of the burials are unidentified but there is a special memorial to one casualty known to be buried among them. There are also three Second World War burials in the cemetery.
The Battle of the Somme (French: Bataille de la Somme, German: Schlacht an der Somme), also known as the Somme Offensive, was a battle of the First World War fought by the armies of the British and French empires against the German Empire. It took place between 1 July and 18 November 1916 on both sides of the River Somme in France. It was one of the largest battles of World War I, in which more than 1,000,000 men were wounded or killed, making it one of the bloodiest battles in human history.
