Mud Mile is always going to be a Mudder favourite, brought to you by Isuzu this year. With its steep peaks and deep, mud-filled troughs it’s the best opportunity to get really, really filthy on course. But it isn’t just fun and games, you’ll need the helping hands of other Mudders to move through the sticky, slippery mud and a little bit of pre-event training wouldn’t hurt either.
