24 Hour World’s Toughest Mudder Draws Participants from All Over the World to The UK

June 29, 2025

United Kingdom Sunday 29th June 2025/ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – History was made this weekend as World’s Toughest Mudder unleashed 24 hours of non-stop, soul-testing endurance on British soil for the very first time. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Belvoir Castle, over 1,000 elite and amateur athletes from all corners of the globe pushed themselves to breaking point. Mentally, physically, and emotionally on a punishing five-mile loop that evolved with every lap.

From scorching sunshine to pitch-black nightfall, competitors from over 20 countries including the UK, USA, South Africa, Australia and beyond battled mud-drenched hills, icy water trenches, free fall jumps through fire and unforgiving terrain, driven by grit, determination, and sheer willpower. For the UK, it was a landmark moment in endurance sport. For the athletes, it was a once-in-a-lifetime test of mental and physical fatigue like never before. No two laps were the same, and only the toughest endured.

The atmosphere across the event village stayed electric all night long, with roaring support from pit crews, music fuelling morale, and Tough Mudder announcers keeping spirits high as athletes powered on into the final, defining hours.

In a show of sheer grit and determination, top honours were claimed across a range of categories. Winners included:

Individual Category – Male:
1st Place – Joseph Rucco, USA (110 miles completed for the $5,000 prize)
2nd Place – Joshua Fiore, USA (105 miles completed for the $2,500 prize)

Individual Category – Female:
1st Place – Nikki Caromba, South Africa (95 Miles completed for the $5,000 prize)
2nd Place – Robyn Koszta, Australia (85 Miles completed for the $2,500 prize)

Finishers earned the exclusive World’s Toughest Mudder headband, a newly designed medal, milestone patches, commemorative shirts, and bragging rights that will last a lifetime.

Matthew Brooke, Managing Director of Tough Mudder, commented “We knew this was going to be big, but the atmosphere, the stories, the determination we saw this weekend truly blew us away. The UK has shown it’s more than ready to host the world’s most extreme endurance event. This was a milestone moment not just for Tough Mudder, but for OCR history.”
