Tough Mudder

On Saturday 12th July a group of 18 New Century members took up the Help for Heros Tough Mudder Challenge at Boughton House Kettering. This is a hardcore 12 mile– long obstacle course designed by the Special Forces to test your all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie.

I am pleased to say that everyone completed it and proudly wear their orange headbands. Chesterfield Instructor Emma Deakin was not only the second fastest woman but also completed the course twice alongside Chris Brown from our Stone School.
A great achievement see photos, spot the blue/black New Century colours.

On Sunday 21st September Instructors Peter and Joanne Brannan and some members of South Normanton Taekwon-Do entered the 2014 Wild Warrior run (part of the X-Runner Mud/Water runs). The run was at Wild Park near Brailsford over a distance of 10 Kilometers with 64 obstacles.
