When you participate in a Toughest race, You are in control. Only you decide how difficult or easy your race experience will be.

• You don’t have to beat all obstacles, even though it’s great if you at least try! You always have the possibility to choose the penalty round, which is a jog of about 100m.
• Run or walk. You decide! There is no time restriction and you can complete the race in a pace that suits you.
• If you need extra help with preparation, there is an award-winning obstacle course gym in Malmö, a digital training portal and certified trainers across Sweden.

Although some obstacles seem big and intimidating, most obstacles are actually performed on or close to ground level.

Toughest is all about challenging yourself. It’s about surprising yourself by doing something you never thought you could do. All that matters is that you try.

Approach the obstacle and evaluate the situation on the spot instead of deciding the outcome in advance! If you can’t do it, that’s totally fine. Continue to the next obstacle. If you manage to overcome your fears, you will feel an adrenaline rush and pride you won’t forget.

Believe in yourself! You are awesome and are capable of much more than you think.

Although your time is tracked on the main race, you may run completely in your own pace. Stop and rest when you need it. Walk if you need to. What’s important is that you start moving!

If the barrier still feels too great, you can try out Toughest Family. The Family race is a shorter version of the main race and has no time tracking. Many choose this to try obstacle course racing for the first time.

Obstacle course racing may seem challenging, but it is never too late to start training! Most Toughest participants are amateurs wanting to challenge themselves, both physically and mentally.

Not in your best shape for the race? It doesn’t matter! Set a goal to simply cross the finish line or to beat a certain number of obstacles. You don’t need the beat them all and stand on the podium. Everyone participates on their own terms. You and you only decide the terms of the race.

Some obstacles may seem hard to handle, but with the right technique and attitude, you will be able to do it. Grip strength is needed for some obstacles, but only enough to carry your own body weight.
