Event Description
TOUGH MUDDER HALF - CHICAGO
Same Epic Venue, Brand New Course
Wing your way to wild Winnebago County where Tough Mudder Half Chicago is set to push Mudders to their very best for the third season in a row. Rockford International Airport might not sound imposing, but when you’re mudding the course at Tough Mudder Half Chicago you’ll thank your luckiest muddin’ hat that the only hills you see are the ones off in the distance. This sprawling course, located smack dab in between Chicago and Milwaukee, will put you through your paces and then some. Make sure you recruit a crew you’re ready to conquer with because Rockford might provide some pretty views of river and farmland, but it’s no leisurely taxi down the runway. It’s epic, taken to new heights.
5 miles, 13 obstacles
You and your crew better be in tip-top Muddin’ shape (or at least pretty good shape) if you’re gonna conquer Tough Mudder Half Chicago, and earn you way to your best weekend of 2018.
