What’s it like to support an adaptive athlete as a course guide?

• Most of our guides describe the experience as fun, inspirational, life-changing, and hard! As a guide, you will be linked up with an athlete for the entire day, assisting them in both the physical and mental hurdles of taking on a momentous challenge.
• Your day will include:
  • Assisting in navigating the festival and preparing for course
  • Guiding your athlete throughout the course
  • Assisting your athlete with equipment and nutrition
  • Aiding with transporting equipment
  • Aiding athletes in getting into/out of equipment at obstacles
  • Pulling/pushing equipment (by hand and/or with harnesses)
  • Assisting in navigating challenging terrain
  • Scouting ahead and anticipating course challenges
  • Supporting in completing obstacles
  • Assisting with wayfinding/navigation
  • Coordinating with fellow Mudders to safely get your athlete through the course
• Always remember that your athlete’s safety and wellbeing come first. Don’t overdo the pace or attempt obstacles in an unsafe manner. Tough Mudder is all about overcoming personal challenges, not recklessly crashing through them.
