Tough Gal Team Challenge
Kumeu, West Auckland
Sunday 09th August 2026
So you’re tough, but are you tough enough to take on the Glow Lab Tough Gal Team Challenge in Kumeu, West Auckland?
In association with the ever popular Tough Guy and Gal Challenge we have introduced a women’s only ultimate adventure for groups of three women looking to test their limits, build camaraderie, and have a blast. This action-packed obstacle course race is designed to push your endurance, strength, and teamwork while fostering empowerment and fun.
Gather your squad of three, lace up your shoes, and tackle the Tough Gal Team Challenge for a day of mud, laughter, and triumph!
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING THE DISTANCE – It is an APPROXIMATELY 6km course, but due to the nature of our different venues terrain and challenges, we equate the TIME TAKEN of the fastest person to be “equivalent” to a flat 6km cross country course. Therefore, some venues are shorter in distance, but equivalent in time.
