What Is TMC?

CAN YOU HANDLE IT? Since 2010, Tough Mountain Challenge has been New England’s go-to event for mud, sweat, beers, and bragging rights. It’s not about winning—it’s about showing up, getting filthy, and laughing your way through the pain with 3,600 other lunatics.

Think you’re tough? Prove it.

Race day is Saturday, July 26, 2025.
