    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.
