The 5km course, meanwhile, offers a challenging experience for participants of all fitness levels, with obstacles that demand a mixture of agility and stamina.
For kids, the Lidl Mudder provides an opportunity to develop teamwork, resilience and a taste for adventure.
“Ditch any preconceived notions of an easy ride through our supposedly flattest course of the season,” a spokesperson for Tough Mudder said.
“Tough Mudder South West is a pulse-racing, fear-inducing battle, where every obstacle is a new opportunity to prove you’re built for the challenge ahead.
“Brace yourself for surprises, towering walls, electrifying sprints and more mud than Glastonbury.”
Founded in 2010, Tough Mudder claims to create some of the most intense obstacle courses worldwide.
Courses are designed to test all-around stamina, strength and mental grit, with the brand having reportedly seen millions of participants globally to date.
Tickets for Tough Mudder South West are reportedly selling fast.
