41 filthy dirty photos of the gruelling Tough Mudder event at Punchestown this weekend

You’re gonna need a hose-down after looking at these.

IT WAS TWELVE tough miles of running, climbing, jumping, crawling, swinging and (mostly) trudging through the obstacle course set up around Punchestown race course this past weekend.

And, by the looks of these photos, the 6,000 odd crazy fools (including four all-terrain specialists from TheScore.ie) who were fit and brave enough to take part did more than put up with the filth they had be submerged in, they bloody well loved it.
