Tough Guy ChallengeDemand for this year's Waikato Draught Tough Guy & Gal Challenge has been so great the event on the 15th August has sold out already! Don't despair if you haven't entered as organisers are holding an extra event on the 8th August.

This unique off-road running event challenges competitors to tackle two laps of a 6km course containing a variety of natural and man-made obstacles that includes swamp crossings, greasy mud, a crawl under barbwire, a tricky rope climb, water trails, the wobbly wire rope bridge, the Waikato Draught hurdles along with magnificent bush trails and fast open paddocks. A social one lap (6km) option is also available.

Event Director, Murray Fleming of Event Promotions says "There is nothing like it - this event is a great mix of fun and mayhem but provides an exceptional and unique challenge for all competitors." He adds "entries are continuing to pour in for the extra event on the 8th August and we strongly suggest people enter quickly to avoid missing out".

Race 2 of the 2009 Waikato Draught Tough Guy and Gal Challenge is on Saturday 8 August at the Lakes Ranch complex, just east of Rotorua on SH30 (opposite Hells Gate), and will follow the same format as race one, including the post event party at the Kingsgate Hotel, Rotorua.

Once again a huge line-up of spot prizes is up for grabs so get a group of friends, work mates or family together and have the time of your life!

Entry forms are available now from your local fitness centre and sports shoe retailer or you can enter online by visiting the event website www.eventpromotions.co.nz.
