Who’s going to be a Tough Mudder in Riyadh?

RIYADH: The Saudi Sports for All Federation is set to host Tough Mudder Riyadh, the ultimate mud and obstacle course, on Nov. 25 at Dirab Golf & Country Club.

Open to people of all ages, Tough Mudder is designed to empower people to overcome challenges and develop better teamwork skills. Adult participants can take on a 5-kilometer or 10-kilometer course over 21 obstacles. Kids under 13 can compete in the Mini Mudder, a 1.5-kilometer course with eight obstacles.

The launch of Tough Mudder Riyadh is in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and Quality of Life Program goals. It hopes to inspire Saudi citizens and residents to safeguard their health and wellness by getting involved in more physical and fitness-focused activities.
