Early Bird tickets for ‘du Tough Mudder’ sold out in just two weeks as the UAE prepares to take on the global phenomenon in the ultimate test of physical strength, stamina, mental grit and teamwork.

Taking place in the grounds surrounding Hamdan Sports Complex from 9-10 December 2016, ‘du Tough Mudder’, which is organised by IMG in partnership with du and in cooperation with Dubai Sports Council, will include 8km and 16km courses, appealing to fitness enthusiasts and athletes alike. Known as ‘Probably the Toughest Event on the PlanetTM’, the challenge distinguishes itself through larger than life obstacles designed around the values of courage, personal accomplishment, teamwork and fun.

 

Thrill-seeking children aged 7-13 can also get involved with ‘du Mini Mudder’, a 1.5km obstacle based  mud-run giving kids the chance to work as a team and experience the excitement of adventure.

 

Greg Sproule, Managing Director of IMG Middle East, said:  "We are incredibly proud that the Early Bird tickets have sold out so fast. This goes to show the tremendous excitement we are seeing from the Middle East market for this this globally acclaimed event. We have no doubt that du Tough Mudder will provide an unforgettable experience for the participants involved, and given the initial response we have seen so far, we are encouraging everyone to register quickly.”
