Tough Gal Team Challenge
Wellington
2027 DATE TBC
INfo
So you’re tough, but are you tough enough to take on the Glow Lab Tough Gal Team Challenge in Wellington?
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.
Challenging Obstacles
Work together to conquer mud pits, climbing walls, crawling tunnels, and more, with challenges that are as rewarding as they are exciting.
Outdoor Adventure
Every venue is different with rugged terrains, farmland and/or natural bushland, adding an exciting twist to the challenge.
All Levels Welcome
Whether you’re seasoned athletes or simply after an unforgettable active girls’ day out, this event is open to all fitness levels.
Bond Through Teamwork
Cheer each other on, strategize together, and celebrate your victories as a team.
Inspired Achievement
Be inspired by the collective strength, resilience, and determination of your team and others.
The Countdown Begins!

Our event team stay onsite at Camp Wainui for the week, which does mean our communication can be a little bit slower due to this connectivity issue. Our Admin Team moves to the town library to check emails and social media in the afternoon after each days event.

The weather at Camp Wainui can be very different to anywhere else in the region. It can be cold, damp and raining even when it is sunny over the hill. Please be aware of this when packing for the event. Bring plenty of warm clothes for pre and post event.
