The top ten things to remember on race day
With all your training done, here are some musts and some maybes for you to remember to get you to the start line of The Vanguard Tough Mudder Takeover.
Remember your ID and ticket - An absolute must!
You won’t get in without them! Get ready to show your ID at check in, alongside your QR code which will be scanned on arrival.
Government ID will be needed (no work passes). A photograph will be accepted, but not a photocopy.
Your QR code can be found on your confirmation email – to find it, search “You’re in! Your ticket enclosed for The Vanguard Tough Mudder Takeover 2024”, or by logging into your Tough Mudder account using your professional email address, and clicking on ‘my events’ – your ticket will look a little something like this:
Check your information pack and read the FAQs
Your information pack contains everything you need to know about your Vanguard Tough Mudder event. Start times, what’s in the village, obstacle/course highlights and all the FAQs – you can access this by logging into your Tough Mudder event using your professional email address.
You can also find out more about the running of the day in our online FAQs here.
Prepare for all eventualities
This is the UK and although that normally means grey skies and rain, sometimes the weather can be as unpredictable as Shocking Volatility. Check the weather for RH12 4SE the night before. If it is cold and raining, you’ll need extra layers (for during and afterwards) and extra carrier bags; if it’s looking sunny make sure you’ve got your factor 50 and plenty of water.
Bring clean clothes and a towel to dry off
No matter what happens, you’ll be muddy. Bring a clean set of clothes and a towel to dry yourself off after the hose down (yes, the hose down).
Get some carbohydrates in at breakfast
Similarly to the night before, priming the body with carbohydrates at breakfast is one way to ensure that your performance does not suffer during the day. Stick to breakfast meals and products you have used in the build up to the event; porridge, toast, cereal, bagels and fruit juice are all great choices.
We've got you a bag - don't bring the plastic
Believe it or not, the most common question at Tough Mudder’s Information Desk is if there’s any spare plastic bags. We don’t want the plastic, so we’ve got you a drawstring bag at the finish line.
Map out a meeting point
If you’re attending with a team, then pick a point to meet in case you get separated throughout the day. Of course, you’ll take on the course together but once you’ve got your headband and people are disappearing off to get changed, find food and drink, it’s easy to lose track. Plus, with so many people in one place and the fact that Tough Mudder takes place in a big old field, don’t expect much signal.
So, pick a spot and agree with everyone that if you get split up that’s where you’ll reconvene – ‘The Vanguard Village’ makes most sense.
Eat a meal you enjoy afterwards - you deserve it
Eat a meal you enjoy; this is a celebration. The meal should be rich in carbohydrates to top up those stores in the body which are likely to be pretty low having just completed the course. There will be plenty to choose from on the day, so enjoy something special on us.
Get active with Vanguard
Enjoy the day – this is meant to be fun!
