Tough Mountain Challenge Based at Sunday River Resort in western Maine, the Tough Mountain Challenge is an adventure obstacle race that tackles alpine terrain and throws in natural and man-made challenges. It's just four miles in length, but when you're running up a mountain under an arsenal of snow guns or scrambling through the mud it will feel much longer and live up to its name. The Tough Mountain Challenge is a timed event, but it's not about whether you finish first or last - it's about testing yourself and pushing your limits then celebrating your accomplishment once you cross the finish line. The Tough Mountain Challenge is limited to fixed number competitors in each heat to keep the race from feeling too crowded and ensure everyone has a great time.
