Tough Mudder 2026

Tough Mudder

Tough Mudder Manchester 2026 is your chance to push your limits, embrace the mud, and take on the ultimate obstacle course, all in support of The Christie Charity.

On Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 October 2026, choose between the 5K course with more than 12 obstacles or the 15K course featuring over 20 obstacles. You’ll tackle challenges including icy dips into Arctic Enema, muddy crawls under Cage Crawl, the treacherous trapeze of Well Swung and a whole range of other obstacles. Every challenge is designed to test your grit and leave you with unforgettable memories (and covered in a lot of mud!).

Whether you’re running solo or as part of a team, you’ll be cheered on every step of the way and when you cross that finish line, you’ll know every muddy metre has made a real difference for people living with cancer.

Your race pack will be sent directly by the event organiser, not The Christie Charity.

Sponsorship packs, including your running top, will be sent out from January 2026 onwards.

If you’d prefer not to commit to a set fundraising target, you can book your place directly through the event organiser. Once you’ve secured your spot, you’re very welcome to join Team Christie and request your fundraising pack - we’ll support you with ideas and materials to help you raise what you can.

We completely understand that fundraising can feel daunting and we’re here to help you every step of the way. If you’re struggling, please get in touch! We’ll share tried-and-tested tips, ideas, and resources to help you boost your total.

We won’t ask you to cover any fundraising shortfall or remove you from the event. However, because each charity place comes at a cost to The Christie Charity, we do ask participants to actively engage in fundraising. If there’s no evidence of fundraising activity, our events team will be in touch to offer guidance and discuss whether a charity place is the right option for you.

Every charity place represents a vital investment for The Christie Charity. Setting a fundraising target ensures we can continue to fund world-leading cancer care, research, and patient support.

Of course, the fundraising target of £300 per person will still apply, but you’re very welcome to combine your efforts towards one shared team total.

If you’re using JustGiving, your donations come straight to us automatically - you won't need to do anything!

If you’ve collected sponsorship offline, please send it to us as soon as you can, and ideally within 4 weeks of race day. We’ll include full details in your fundraising pack on how to pay in your money.
