When: 1hr a week, flexible around your schedule
Tough Guy
This event is the ultimate test of strength, determination and bravery. Tough Guy is a world famous assault course where you will face muddy fields, unforgiving hill slaloms, underwater tunnels and hidden dangers to push yourself to the max.
