So you’re tough, but are you tough enough to take on the Tough Gal Team Challenge?

In association with the ever popular Tough Guy and Gal Challenge we have introduced a women’s only team challenge. This event is tailored specifically for teams of 3 to take on a 6km course full of man-made and natural obstacles – competing, conquering and finishing together. This is a women’s only event designed for ladies of all ages to get together, dress up in fancy dress and enjoy a fun day out in the mud. It is being rolled out in two of our popular Tough Guy and Gal venues – Auckland and Rotorua.

The vision behind this event is to bring women together in an environment where they feel comfortable to challenge their abilities, push themselves outside their comfort zones, encourage and empower one another to achieve and accomplish more than what’s often thought possible.
