These are clearly pictures of the effort my Dad had to go thru to get to elementary school every day.

Nope. Not extreme enough. For one thing, it isn't uphill both ways.

4. Are we pretty sure this isn't an event strictly for Russian asylum residents?
Ummm, w/ regard to # 2, where would you be looking???

The Tough Guy Race is since 1986 an annually taking place event in Hindernisrennen in the proximity of the city Wolverhampton with Birmingham. Running goes to large property over 12 kilometers on a 150 hectare. There are 21 hard obstacles that must be overcome. The participants must crawl under 50 centimeters to deeply fastened Stacheldraht by the Matsch, by tunnels from a meter extent creep, under a timber bridge through in ice-cold pools dip, on 10 meters height climb, from 3 meters height rope themselves and under a Elektrozaun creep. Finally the participants must run by burning hay bundles.
Running was developed by Billy Wilson. He was in the royal infantryman Guards and sketched Trainingscamps for elite troops.
The participation fees is 70 € Euro which go to different charitable federations.

Good lord, it really is in Britain.

I promise faithfully that if any Dwellars take part in this event you can stay with me, and I'll come and cheer you on.

I might have to go and watch this summer (Tough Guy is the winter event, Nettle Warrior the summer).

Do check out the website (Bruce's post) to see the whole course. Bunch of fruitcakes the lot of them...

Since there is an offer of a place to stay...I'll offer to be the training partner/coach for anyone who wants to try this with me (someday)

I worry about the Brits, I really do... after this and the whole Bog Swimming thing.
I mean, we did stuff like this as part of our work, but we got paid for it & bitched the whole time...

I'd do it. One day. When I've got enough strength to hear the Wolverhampton accent again.

Frank Skinner (the one without a beard) isn't from Wolverhampton precisely, but definitely has the accent that Monster is referring to.

I quite like it

That's quite a mild version he has going there, though.......

"you come to a lot of shows -are you ashamed of it now?" is probably where it's strongest (about halfway through)
