Tough Mudder UAE will present both new and signature obstacles this year that include; Black Widow (a series of 30’ long elevated tightropes suspended over water) and Leap of Faith (commit to clearing a 6’ water-filled gap, then grab tight to the hanging rope net and don’t let go), whilst Pyramid Scheme, Mud Mile and Everest 2.0 will be amongst the fan favourites that make a welcome return to the Dubai Festival City course.
