An obstacle event which prides itself on being probably the “toughest on the planet” is set to return to Broughton Hall next year.

Just three months after the Tough Mudder event attracted 14,000 participants to the Brougton estate, organisers have announced it is set to return over two days in August.

And they are promising the 12-mile course with up to 25 obstacles will be bigger, better and muddier than before.

Sarah Harvey, Tough Mudder UK vice-president, said: “We’re so excited to be back at Broughton estate after the event went so well in September.

“The mudders and spectators created an amazing atmosphere and we’re hoping for the same in 2014.”
