For many of us, races are a strong incentive for exercising. For this reason, we are offering those affected by a cancelled race the opportunity to experience an adrenaline packed Toughest race for a heavily discounted price!
While many other events are forced to cancel, we have this fall been granted permits and successfully hosted events which comply with the strict pandemic regulations. As restrictions continue to be lifted, we are now able to accept more participants to our races.
Send your confirmation or receipt for a race cancelled due to Covid-19 and you’ll receive a personal discount code entitling you to 30% off any Toughest race during 2021!
Toughest is Swedens first, Nordics’ largest and Europe’s most liked obstacle course race, awarded best in Europe for five consecutive years. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience why!
Requests should be sent to info@toughest.se. Set “CANCELLED 30” as the subject and attach a confirmation or other documentation proving that you had a ticket for the cancelled race. When the attachments have been reviewed and approved, you will receive a personal discount code via e-mail.
The fineprint: Only races cancelled due to the pandemic are accepted. The discount is personal and can only be used once. In case of abuse, a penalty fee will be debited, matching the entire ticket cost. The offer is limited and will remain active during a limited period of time. The organizer reserves the right to end the offer without prior notice. Can not be combined with other offers or discounts.
As many major events have cancelled with short notice lately, many of you are wondering about how the current regulations affect our events and if we are arranging our events at all. The answer is: Yes – We are!
We keep a constant dialogue with authorities and follow all regulations and updates carefully. We have established a pandemic plan including adjustments on most parts of the event. In many aspects we go further than the requirements, just to be on the safe side.
Below is a short description of which rules apply and what adjustments you will meet at the event. As always, participants will receive a fully detailed e-mail a few days before the event regarding all practical matters.
As a race (“motionslopp”), we are allowed to have up to 900 persons at the same time in the start/finish area. We normally let around 70-100 people start every 5 minutes, however we have reduced our maximum number of participants to less than half of our capacity and will reduce starting groups accordingly. We will keep the allowed limits with a good margin as well as provide disinfectants and enough space for every participant to keep a safe distance.
Instructions on how to behave and what procedures to follow will be sent out to participants and we will assign pandemic hosts that will remind and make sure distance is kept and disinfectants are used.
We thank you all for respecting these guidelines. Together we will make this a safe event!

After a long year of restrictions and uncertainty we are now at the last phase of a very special time. Swedish authorities (Folkhälsomyndigheten – FHM) have now released their plan for opening up society and events. With upcoming race dates this fall and close discussions with local authorities we are ready for hosting events again!
FHM recently announced a plan for outdoor sport events with new regulations on participant numbers. The new plan is divided into three phases where the first stage allows 150 participants at a time, second level 900 participants and the final stage no limits on number of runners/participants. The first level is to be initialized on June 1st and FHM then estimates level two to be taken into effect in July, followed by the last “no-regulations” stage to be entered in August/September.
| Stage | Max participants | Effective date |
| 1 | 150 | June 1st |
| 2 | 900 | July |
| 3 | No limit | August/September |
We plan for hosting events in compliance with all three stages and will be prepared for all of these scenarios. We will implement strict regulations and control nevertheless and always keep safety our highest priority!
The core concept of our races will be the same and course maps will be released within the next few weeks. The joy, adrenaline, obstacles and mud will all feel the same regardless of regulations! The limits will come down to number of participants, crowd management and might lead slightly shorter courses in terms of running, but rest assured that the track will still be packed with obstacles. We can also reveal that some of our ”Toughest 2.0 obstacles” will make their world premier this fall!
It has been a long wait, but we are extremely happy for these positive news. Registration is open so make sure to visit our registration page to secure your ticket for the upcoming events this fall!

Hello!
As a follow-up to previous information sent out in mid February, we have now come to the hard decision to re-schedule the upcoming events according to the table below.
With the restrictions enforced due to the pandemic, our assessment is that it is simply unlikely and moreover inappropriate to host an event amidst the current circumstances.
Approaching this fall, we will focus our efforts to fine-tune our security measures and keep a close dialogue with local authorities and land owners to ensure that we are able to host an event in the most safe way possible in terms of infection spread.
Our events in 2021 will be rescheduled according to the dates below. If you already have a ticket, your registration will automatically be transferred to the new date. No action required from you.
| Event | Current date | New date |
| Malmö | September 4-5 | |
| Umeå | October 2-3 | |
| Stockholm | October 16-17 | |
| Oslo | September 25-26 |
We realise that this may cause some frustration and believe us when we say that we are equally frustrated. We are more than ready deliver our world-class obstacles to our dedicated participants and as soon as we get the go-ahead, we will fire up the Toughest engine att full speed for a spectacular comeback. For now, we must respect the situation and do our best to stop the spread.
See you at the OCR track this fall, when we celebrate the end of Covid!
Best regards,
Toughest Crew
New updates have been released since this post was published. Read the latest updates here.
Hello OCR lovers!
Hope you’ve kick-started 2021 in the best possible way.
The past year has been humbling for most of us. Our daily routines and social interaction patterns have been pushed down the Ramp, into a deep and bottomless Mudland. What previously seemed odd and abnormal has now settled as the “new normal”.
But in these struggling times, we are starting to see some light. With vaccines rolling out in a steady pace and more effective pre-emptive measures being implemented across communities, there are some indications and hope that restrictions will start to lift as we approach spring and early summer.
With this in mind, we have established a plan for alternative dates in 2021.
The alternative dates below will be finally determined and effective as of March 31:st, unless we see any new restrictions or other factors which may affect this plan. In either case, we will post a new update once the final dates have been determined.
| Event | Current date | Alt. date |
| Malmö | May 15-16 | September 4-5 |
| Umeå | May 29-30 | October 2-3 |
| Stockholm | June 12-13 | October 16-17 |
| Oslo | September 4-5 | September 25-26 |
If the alternative dates above are taken into effect, our planned events in Gothenburg and Älmhult will unfortunately not be possible to arrange in 2021. It is heartbreaking for us to postpone one of our oldest as well as our newest event, but we are in dialogue with our partners and land owners in hope of finding new dates next year.
If you are interested in one of these events, you will receive more information later this year. We kindly ask you to hold any questions until then, as we are unable to provide more details at this time.
As OCR races are held outdoors and spread over a large area, our events provide a naturally more safe setting than other event types. Nevertheless, the arrangement and format of the race will be adjusted to comply with any enforced restrictions & recommendations at the time of the event.
We will do anything possible to minimize the risks of infection spread, e.g. reduced start group size, adjusted obstacle layout, audience distancing etc.
There is a lot that can be done, and we will make sure to do it.
Finally, all we can say is hang in there and keep on training. Exercise and outdoor activities are especially important these days to stay healthy.
It has been a rough year, but we are hopefully starting to see the end. Make sure to follow recommendations from your local health authorities so that we can put this trial behind us and return to the “old normal”.
Hope to see you all on the race track later this year!
Best regards,
Toughest Crew
We know many of you are frustrated, sad and angry about the event 2020 situation. Many of you bought tickets to a classic physical Toughest event that is not permitted as of now. As promised we have been working hard to give you the best we ever can during these circumstances (for our view of and more information about the situation see our earlier statements).
Thank you all for your support and all suggestions on alternative solutions. We have taken it in and come up with a package that we hope you will enjoy!
We have tried to put together the best possible mix of activities that we hope you will enjoy and appreciate!
The digital event will be a chance to do “your own” Toughest-challenge together with us/others.
The mini events will be small standardised challenges hosted in different local facilities (might be both indoors and outdoors). They will consist of a mix of running and obstacles/strength/agility. Not to be compared to a normal event but a way to test yourself on those elements and if you push hard – get that heart pumpin and maybe get that blood taste in your mouth!
We also give you all a chance to train at our unique OCR gym Toughest LAB! Actually you will all get a 5 x training voucher. Make sure to take the chance! It is not only the best way to prepare for our races it is also probably one of the most fun training methods out there!
Medals will be rewarded to those participating in the digital or local events. Would you not be able to do this but still want a 2020 medal. Please contact us at info@toughest.se.
Many of you ask us how to best prepare for OCR and Toughest. There is not a short/easy answer since our races test a rage of abilities. We normally say that every kind of training helps out. But of course there are ways to train that really prepares you in an optimal way! To be able to guide you we built our own digital “Preparation Room”. You will get access so take the chance to see what kind of training schedule is suitable for you! The system takes your current status and your goal and gives you a personalized training program.
Last but not least – we do hope to see you all at our future races! Of course you will get discounts for Toughest 2021. Earlier sign up means more discount. The following discount ladder applies:
| Discount | Expiry |
| 70% | Valid until October 1 st 2020 |
| 60% | Valid until December 1 st 2020 |
| 50% | Valid until February 1 st 2021 |
| 40% | Valid until April 1 st 2021 |
| 30% | Valid until June 1 st 2021 |
| 20% | Valid until August 2021 |
More information on how to sign up and claim these activities will come within the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
Since our announcement on July 16th regarding our events in 2020 (read more here) we have received a lot of questions. We will therefore attempt to answer the most common ones via the link below.
Please read these through before contacting our support as we will simply refer to the information on the page below in case of any related questions. You’ll find the questions and answers under the “Corona” section.
Thank you for your understanding.
After a very exceptional spring, with endless ideas and a number of adjusted event plans for how to make Toughest a Corona-safe event, we have now reached a dead end.
The way the authorities have enforced and interpreted the regulation of maximum 50 persons makes us unable to arrange any event in 2020. This is of course devastating, as we believe that our events are safer than others (held outdoors and can easily be divided into zones with fewer people) as opposed to going to any bigger mall/store or similar. It’s sad to see that the government doesn’t see the unfairness in this. We are frustrated, but unfortunately the decision isn’t ours to make.
Rest assured that we have tried. We really believe that our revised (and re-revised) plans, which we worked so hard on, were as safe as it gets. There would be no crowds, large control and strict hygiene regulations. But as for many other businesses (e.g. Swedish amusement parks which are now demanding 1,5 Billion SEK in compensation from the government, source SVT) there was no understanding nor interpretation of the regulations regarding closeness of people and no consideration on the surrounding factors (outdoors, size of area to name a few). The only thing that mattered was the number 50. For us, 50 people in a small store is a crowd. 50 people spread over several kilometers is not. Sick and elderly people indoors are a risk. Healthy relatively young people outdoors in small groups with lots of space are not. But as it is now the stores and restaurants are crowded. People cough and sneeze in public with no further regulation. But healthy people can’t go running in an organized event, even if separated in small groups. But it doesn’t matter what we think. It is what it is and hence we cannot host any normal events in 2020.
What will happen next one might ask. In the short term we will be able to deliver a digital event instead of a real event (more on that further down). Like many other event organizers, we will not be able push your registration to next year, nor are we able to issue refunds. Many of you will fully understand. But we know many don’t. So let us try to explain in full transparency:
Our business, alongside countless other event organizers, are using the very same business model. We rely on people signing up before the event. With the income from ticket sales, we are able to pay our rent, pay salaries to our staff, pay for costs related to event preparation etc. as well as eventually paying for the actual event production. Even though we have used every government issued “economic help package” which we have been entitled to, we still have a steady burn rate. This means that there is no money in our account to refund your ticket.
So, why are we not just transferring your ticket til next year? Well, the answer could be a bit tricky to understand. Let us try to explain. When you sign up for a race, that money ends up in our bank account, but it doesn’t end up in our (financial) books until we deliver the product (in this case the event). On the other hand, the costs end up in our books the same day we trigger them. This means that we have a lot of costs, but no income, until we actually deliver the event. The sad part of this is that we need to have the income this year (remember we need to deliver the event in order to register the income in our books) in order to cover our costs and stay alive. Without this, we will go bankrupt.
So why don’t we just register them this year and hand out free tickets to next year? If we do that, we will have no income next year, and that will put us out of business as well. Our Danish neighbours have understood this and the Danish government is now paying for all cancelled events due to Corona. We are very sorry the Swedish government still hasn’t understood the business model that all companies working with events are using – simply put: the Swedish government wants the individuals to pay for this…
We understand that this is far from an ideal situation, and we understand that some of you will be very frustrated with us and/or the government. Maybe a few of you will threaten us with lawsuits. Please understand that if this would go to court and you would be entitled to have your money back, that would force us into bankruptcy and thereby not resulting in the desired outcome.
ARN (Allmänna Reklamationsnämnden, The National Board for Consumer Disputes in Sweden) have issued a directive saying that Göteborgsvarvet doesn’t need to pay back the registration fee for their cancelled events (we can’t see any reason for other interpretations due to other legal structures as referred). We are leaning on that decision and think that it is the only valid interpretation without government bailout (again what happens in several other countries). There is nothing that we would want more than to host a real, physical Toughest event instead of a digital one. But just as the CEO of the biggest event/sports organization explained, “Marathon Gruppen” will go bankrupt if people claim their money back (source SVT). The same applies to us. If we don’t survive this pandemic, there won’t be any events, not now nor later. We believe that you, just as us, would prefer to have Toughest’s events back in 2021 and forward. Hence, this is the only choice we have.
This is a lose-lose situation and we are doing everything we possibly can to make something good out of this. As mentioned, we have decided to host a digital event and come up with some other initiatives/compensations. Initially we thought that there is no way a Toughest event can be held digitally. We still think that, but we have come up with a way to do this that we hope you will enjoy. We will go into details later on, but make sure you are ready mid/late September for this event.
Around mid august you will get an email from us, with instructions on how to move forward with this event. You will be getting a couple of choices of which you should tick one. The choices include a digital event as well as the best possible compensation packages at a level we can afford. And of course you will all get discounts on 2021 events. We hope this gives you some ease and we hope you understand that we do this to be able to continue our mission to help people beat their obstacles and deliver world class events!
As to communication please await further instructions (preliminary mid august) and we ask you not to email us right now. Since we have reduced both in numbers and in working hours due to Corona, we ask you to not send questions regarding the above, but wait until we publish more information. If you have something outside of this topic that needs handling please understand that the response times will be prolonged.
Again, we are very sorry for this to ever have happened. It’s not our decision and the health of our nation/globe is of course a higher priority. We hope we will see you again next year and when we stand there at the starting line, with music pumping, Brian pep talking, you guys jumping and high fiving, all set to get out there and face the course, we will all forget about 2020 and feel the adrenaline again!
Stay safe, see you at our digital event and hopefully we’ll meet you all for real at the starting line in 2021!
Nils & Adam,
CEO & Chairman
Since releasing this statement we have received a lot of questions. We will attempt to answer the most common ones on our FAQ page (see link below).
Please read these through before contacting our support as we will simply refer to the information on that page in case of any related questions. You’ll find the questions and answers under the “Corona” section.
Today the Swedish Public Health Authority announced that some outdoor sporting events will be allowed to take place starting mid June. We are of course very enthusiastic about this report and will immediately begin communicating with authorities regarding how we can adapt our events according to the new directives.
We would like to emphasize that this does NOT mean that Toughest has received a go-ahead from authorities to arrange our events. As stated, we must first coordinate with local authorities to find out more about how this decision affects our events. Nonetheless, the new directives are least to say positive.
According to our previously communicated action plan, we were supposed to publish updates regarding our events in Stockholm and Copenhagen today. However in light of the new information we will postpone these decisions until we have properly coordinated with local authorities.
We hope that you have understanding for this. We will publish updated information as soon we know more about the regulations and terms imposed.
Make sure to return to our news section and actionplan.toughest.se to keep yourself up to date.
Best regards,
Toughest Crew

To all participants in Copenhagen:
We are very sad to announce that our events in Copenhagen 2020 unfortunately will be cancelled due to the world wide Covid-19 situation. We were very much looking forward to our classic events on Amager beach this year, but due to this very extraordinary and unforeseen situation we are simply forced to cancel. This is of course something we deeply regret and we sure hope that we are able to return in the future.
What happens next?
Your ticket will be transfered to our event in Malmö 2020, just across the strait from Amager. No action needed from your side. As Danish people are allowed to travel to Sweden (and not the other way around) we see this as the very best option. Unfortunately, we are not able to refund any tickets due to the strained situation. If you already have a ticket for Malmö 2020, please contact us via info@toughest.se and we will help you in the best way possible.

Dear Fans, Followers, OCR Athletes and FRIENDS.
It is with great regret that we have to make this address.
The Corona/Covid-19 outbreak has affected all parts of society. Although most of us experience little to no symptoms, the virus imposes an undeniable risk of severe illness. Medical personnel are working around the clock to manage and contain the spread. You are our heroes!
Regrettably, the pandemic also has devastating effects on businesses and jobs, Toughest included. Rest assured, we are assertive that our company and experienced team are resilient enough to withstand the current challenges, but we could use a little help.
As an event organizer, our whole existence relies on You.
By signing up and attending our events, we get the funding and motivation needed to create the best obstacle course race in Europe. Amidst Corona, registrations have abruptly declined and we are currently in an alarming downwards spiral. We are confident that everything will return to normal again, but until then, our situation is critical.
Despite the common belief that Toughest is a large organization, in reality, we are a small, entrepreneurial company devoted to making the best obstacle courses and events out there. Since the spring of 2013, when we introduced the phenomenon OCR and created the first large scale obstacle course race in Scandinavia, we have been working hard to make our events something extraordinary and spectacular. We are 10 employees based in Malmö, doing our best to make ends meet without institutionalized owners nor external funding. Our small team is responsible for everything, from planning and administration down to setting the last nail on the ramp.
We started with nothing, but the love and appreciation from you all made us excel in our field.
It has been an amazing journey. From the first race in Malmö 2013, with 1.200 brave participants, to the 30.000+ yearly returning racers Toughest is today, your love for mud baths and adrenaline rushes helped us grow and improve.
For the 2020 season, we launched a massive initiative to raise the bar for the entire OCR industry, called Toughest 2.0. We can’t wait to bring these updates to you, but we are dependent on your solidarity to make them a reality.
In these challenging times, we need you more than ever!
With declining registrations, our organization is on its knees. Although governments have launched substantial emergency packages, these are not nearly enough to cover the large costs involved in building our events.
We are not asking you to fund us, nor to give us money. We are simply asking you to continue signing up for our races. We need you to gather those friends who always talked about doing Toughest one day. Now is the time to rally the troops and register. Each and every one of you can help us get through this. Show us that you want Toughest to continue as the number one OCR organizer and we will show you appreciation unlike any other.
We can’t stress this enough: If you want to support us and your fellow OCR fans in these difficult times, please make sure to sign up now. Not later. Now. If you already have a ticket, convince friends and colleagues to join in and share the experience! Everyone can help, and every bit of help makes all the difference.
We are sure that many of you are wondering about the status for the upcoming events.
Make no mistake: We are working around the clock to make sure that the events will take place, either at the original date or at a postponed date within this year.
Last but certainly not least, THANK YOU to everyone out there continuing to sign up. Thank you for lightening the weight on our shoulders. You are a true inspiration and your solidarity is invaluable in these turbulent times.
For those eager to sign up, use the following discount code to get 30% off on any race, valid until April 30th.
BEATYOURCORONA
(Note: BEATCORO for our events in Finland)
In addition, all ticket transfers are of course free of cost from now on.
Thank you for reading this far.
Make sure to re-visit our news page where we will post updates regularly.
Looking forward to seeing you all on the course!

…and the entire Toughest team
Regarding COVID-19 / Corona
The Swedish government has temporarily decided to forbid gatherings with more than 500 persons. Since Toughest LAB is a training facility with relatively few daily visitors, we see no cause for cancelling our training sessions as of now. Trainings will be held as usual until further notice.
Of course, we urge our customers to be extra considerate regarding hygiene when you visit our facility. Wash your hands with warm water och soap before and after your training. Like any other disease, you should absolutely not exercise when experiencing symptoms in air ways and we kindly ask customers with any symptoms of sickness to stay at home.
Thank you for your understanding!
Toughest LAB
In regards to the development of the COVID-19 disease
The spread of COVID-19 is still increasing in many parts of the world, including the Nordics. As an event organizer, we follow the development closely and are in dialogue with experts and authorities to adjust our plans accordingly.
For now, many governments have recommended restrictions on events with more than 500 participants. This of course affects our events, but with most of them 2-7 months ahead, we cannot as of now give definitive answers regarding the outcome. We will post more information as soon as we learn more about the COVID-19 spread and its affects on our events.
You can always reach us at info@toughest.se if you have any questions. Please have patience and understanding that the response times might be prolonged due to the circumstances.
We can’t wait to meet you all on the race fields again, but for now our main focus is to make sure that we host our events when and were it is safe in terms of COVID-19.
So don’t stop preparing! There will be lots of Toughest events to participate in as soon as the pandemic is under control. We will update you when we have more information. Rest assured that we are working hard to have everything up and running as soon as it is safe.
Best regards,
Toughest Crew
