Located within easy travel distances of Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham, Tough Mudder North West is a real community favourite that attracts crowds from far and wide. Widely known as Tough Mudder's muddiest course, you'll be unrecognisable come the finish line but it will all be worth it for the renowned finishers headband.

Event details and distances

They also provided additional insight on the idea of the "wedding night" from Relationship Expert, Jenni Trent Hughes. The findings show that exhaustion was by far the most common factor, with more than two in five (44%) of couples saying they were simply too tired after the celebrations.
