Photo Special: 2010 Tough Guy Contest

Tough Guy 2010

The annual Tough Guy challenge took place today raising funds for charity and putting 5,000 competitors from across the world to push their bodies to the limit.

Dubbed ‘the world’s hardest endurance test’ entrants face underwater tunnels, barbed wire fences, fire walks, walls and even an electrified fence dubbed ‘The Tiger’.

Event organiser Mouser Wilson, said: ‘Every year there’s something new – we have a zipline this year which takes you down a 1,000 metres very quickly and if you don’t let go above the water you’ll go straight into the wall. We had a fair few broken bones.’

Here’s 20 pictures of showing some of the action plus a few photos of those it was just too much for.
