Main race: Yes
Family race: No (water may be present, but it is possible to avoid it)

Since water obstacles exist in some of our races, ability to swim is recommended. Distance in the water varies and can be up to 20 m. In some cases you can avoid the water by doing a penalty round. If you are unsure if your swimming abilities are sufficient, don't hesitate to contact us at info@toughest.se.

All children are offered a floating vest before our water obstacles.

Our races are designed so that everyone, regardless of fitness and training level, can complete them. Mental strength and grit is more important than physical condition.

However, if timing results matter to you, or you wish to run in our competition classes, you must be physically fit.

No, absolutely not. Obstacles designed to cause mental/physical pain are not our cup of tea. Focus on the race, that is more than enough.

Water depots will be available throughout the course, as well as one at the finish line. If you wish to fill your water bottles or drink before the race, water will be available for purchase at our food trucks.

Yes, of course. We always have trained and professional medical staff at our events. A medical tent is placed at the event area, close to the finish line where you can seek assistance if needed. There is also a mobile medical team which will attend to all incidents throughout the course.

Main race

Time tracking is present at our Main races. Your starting envelope will contain a chip to wear around your ankle. The chip is activated when you start, and stopped when you cross the finish line.

Family race

Time tracking is not present at our Family races.

Gloves provides the benefit of extra protection and grip which many may prefer. It is up to each and everyone to decide if they wish to wear gloves or not.

Gloves are available for purchase in our online shop or in the shop at the event area.

No, it is not allowed to wear spiked trainers during our races.

All obstacles on our Family races are modified so that both young and old can complete them. Our Family lanes are an easier alternative to the main obstacle.

The obstacles with Fast lanes also have so called "Follow obstacles" after the main obstacle. These are smaller obstacles placed directly after the main obstacle.

If you choose the Fast lane, you will not have to complete any follow obstacles.

You will find our fast lanes at some of our larger, more technical obstacles. They are marked with green. A fast lane is a technically more difficult alternative to the main obstacle. By choosing the fast lane you will save time compared to the main lane, since you will not have to do the "follow obstacle".

A penalty round is an alternative route if you are unable to finish or wish to skip an obstacle. They are marked with red, next to the main obstacle and usually consist of an additional jog.

No, you do not have to complete all obstacles*. Simply take the penalty round and continue with the race.

* Note that if you are participating in one of our competition classes (Elite/Qualifier/Age group), extraordinary rules apply.

No, it is not possible to change starting group. The starting groups are scheduled and sized to achieve the smoothest flow possible throughout the course and thereby preventing/reducing any queues.

The first starting groups of the day are dedicated to the Elite, Qualifier and other competition classes. Regular starting groups are then sent off about every five minutes.

All our participants will receive a medal as a memento of the accomplishment. Bragging rights are of course included.

Finisher photos and other footage captured by our photographers will be posted on our Facebook page a couple of days after the race.

Your results will be available on the event page after the race. If you can not find your time, please contact our timing partner at resultat@est.se.

Your wardrobe slip is included in your starting envelope (do not lose it!). Although the wardrobe is monitored by our crew, we do not take responsibility for theft and loss of other valuables. Storage is at some cases without roof, so we recommend water resistant bags on days with bad weather (a garbage bag is a good option if you do not have any water proof bags).
