Looking for love in the mud.

Overview

So, you're looking for love — and you've tried hanging out in bars, swiping through online apps and enduring awkward set-ups, all to no avail. We're betting that you haven't taken your search to a muddy obstacle course. Yes, sparks really can fly in the unlikeliest of places.

At Tough Mudder's first ever singles start wave, the globally renowned 18-20 kilometre trek won't just be testing your teamwork, strength and mental grit. The May 7 outing will also challenge you to connect with other singles — helping each other through the ordeal, and then hopefully hanging out afterwards. Given that the event has previously seen a few engagements and even a wedding take place on its muddy fields, perhaps this different twist on speed dating isn't that much of a stretch after all.

Finding a like-minded companion in one of the most unusual of ways isn't the only attraction at Tough Mudder's south-east Queensland outing for 2016, however, with the event also introducing two new obstacles. The Block Ness Monster involves water, of course, while the Pyramid Scheme is all about scrambling up a slippery incline. Doesn't that sound romantic?
