Tough Guy is a traditional English challenge, in which the participants have to use every ounce of their energy just to get to the finish line. to give you an idea of how tough this event is, the promoters say that the US S.E.A.L.S. “Grinder” Assault Course is the only thing that barely comes close in terms of difficulty.
Here are some photos taken during the Tough Guy race

Holy crap. Looks painful.
March 20, 2008
looks like a walk in the park.
March 20, 2008
idiots. Doing the impossible, trying to prove they worth something.
March 20, 2008
Chuck Norris completed that course in negative 2.5 minutes
March 20, 2008
woooah! looks awaesome…anyone who can do that has gotta be a tough guy…makes the Royal Marines look like boy scouts…respect to all who complete it :-]
March 20, 2008
It’s not impossible, of course. And it’s also true that some people avoid challenging themselves so they can pretend they’re superior.
March 20, 2008
They have to fight each other in a bit before the finish line
March 20, 2008
You have to be tough to do that. Wow.
March 20, 2008
All this to get to the pub before last orders are called.
The Brits are used to all this; they are continually in the shit.
Some fabulous shots though. Well done to those who made the pictures.
Just out of interest ;what did the winner get? A years free dry cleaning? Thanks for that . The Baldchemist

March 21, 2008
Those photos are great, especially the guy in the hat. Do you know what camera was used?
I sure as hell couldn’t do that. A hard man’s Takeshi’s Castle…
March 21, 2008
those guys deserve so much oral sex after this.
March 21, 2008
Nice! I like, I like. People in mud, always a good thing.
March 21, 2008
Why on earth would anybody actually want to do this???
March 21, 2008
Ahhhh memories, I won this when I was 4.
March 21, 2008
I really want to try this, looks like a good challenge… I’d pay a decent amount of $$$ to be able to compete…
March 21, 2008
Yeah i remember perfectly was part of my ceromony of becoming an adult at 4 ….
March 21, 2008
So who won?
March 22, 2008
Okay. Can we Americans STOP calling Brits pussies, now? Good GOD that is a badass sport.
March 22, 2008
We never called the Brits pussies - only the French. And also because they eat snails and smell.
March 22, 2008
I think we need more american things like this… we have too many fat lazy asses!
March 22, 2008
i would do it…..again!
March 22, 2008
Hmm. Looked at the website of The Tough Guy Race. Rather dubious political thinking on the front page. If this was the USA, it would be organised by the KKK.
March 22, 2008
This is bad ass, although I admit I probably wouldn’t do this. Also to the people complaining about Brits, look up the British SAS. You call this crazy, the SAS would call it Monday.

March 23, 2008
Wow, can’t believe I stumbled this.

March 23, 2008

March 23, 2008

March 23, 2008
It doesn’t matter, none of you actually exist.
March 23, 2008
It’s like the stupid Survivor competitions, except real. Neat, but insane.
March 24, 2008
Who’s the hottie with the eyebrows in the fifth picture down?
Looks like her boobs are taped down, but they are still there.
March 24, 2008
Satan! want to start Armageddon now? Want to get your can of ass whoopin’? Hah! In case you forgot, Stalin is on your side, He should take care of murdering your own one million.
March 24, 2008
That looks even worse than selection for the regiment.
March 24, 2008
Hey J.. wanna come get stoned?

StuffWhitePeopleLike: crazy-ass races through mud
March 25, 2008
How exactly does swimming through mud look hard? I did stuff like this when I was a kid. They do it all the time in the army…
March 25, 2008
GO HARD OR GO HOME!

What a bunch of pussies!
April 15, 2008
Excellent Photos; Good Looking Site Too. Linked you to my newbie site.
April 18, 2008
Originally this was going to be an assault course for the british military but it was considered too hard. Good thing too because if it did get chosen as a military assault course then the british military would be unstoppable.

This “guy” looks distinctly like a girl. Are girls allowed or are my eyes fooling me?

Hey, Portishead… and aside from verbally suck off a crap band… Portishead; what have you accomplished with your life…?
August 3, 2008
Now, if you want to see tough, release some PitBulls onto the course, or put a few machine guns out there firing over their heads.
September 24, 2008

Thanks for sharing your work with us! Your theme is just awesome!
January 10, 2009
Ye i been to 1 of those. I never done it but its proper brutal
January 10, 2009
lol. looks like the ultimate ranger’s comp. for US Army Rangers, 2 days after ranger school to see who the best of the best ranger team is.
January 11, 2009
ok kids . . . it’s ok to admire. but to put these guys on a pedestal is inappropriate. anyone can train to do any of those things. and really, those pictures barely showed them doing anything. they were muddy and wet, yeah . . . but nothing crazy.
i know there’s a lot more on the main site, but seriously. it’s just endurance. it’s about 20% physical. the rest is your mentality.
i’m one of the guys that eats that kind of stuff for breakfast. i’m 6′0″, 160#. certainly not huge, somewhat smaller than medium build
Anyone can do anything they put their mind to.
