Tough Guy Nettle Warrior — Perton (historical summer programme)

Reports and event feedback

• Ryan B. — enjoyable race, with rain making obstacles slippery ↗

  Ryan B. / Racecheck · 2016

  Enjoys the difficult race but finds heavy rain makes the obstacles slippery and harder to navigate. Likes the large brass medal.

  The complete single card is labeled 2016. Exact raced day, class, length, funding and result are unstated. This is the entire one-card platform population behind the separate published 4.55/5 aggregate; the displayed card/header rounds to 4.6. It does not assess winter Tough Guy or a future edition.

• Rachel Dixon — camaraderie and water obstacles, with long queues ↗

  Rachel Dixon / The Guardian · 2010

  The first-time participant enjoys the camaraderie and water obstacles but describes long queues, demanding hills and a slow outing. Appreciates other participants helping each other.

  The complete original summer narrative and conclusion were read. Its 29 July 2010 publication date is not the raced day. The author is a participating journalist; personal entry funding is unstated. Her repeated assault-course circuits are not two full cross-country laps. Her own experience is not a verified result or representative aggregate, and medical/training recommendations are excluded.

• Ed Gamester — demanding obstacles and a memorable team outing ↗

  Ed Gamester / athlete and Ghost Squad volunteer · 2013

  Enjoys the hill slaloms, water trenches and shared team finish, and praises the organizers’ hospitality.

  The full original report dated 29 July 2013 describes a personal seventeen-kilometre outing and a friend’s shorter option. These are historical estimates, not certified lengths or results. The author arranged music/beer and describes organizer hospitality and a front start; those relationships qualify his praise. His separate marshal notices are not additional independent finisher reviews. Exact raced day and personal entry payment are unstated.

• Jenny Lord — a difficult first outing that left her eager for more ↗

  Jenny Lord / original novice participant · 2016

  Her first summer obstacle race leaves her eager to try more, although she stops after one lap rather than continuing as she had hoped.

  The original publication metadata dates this article 8 November 2016; its 2021 modification is not the raced year. Her retrospectively named summer Nettle Warrior outing is separate from the later Nuts course training/kit-testing day. Her fifteen-kilometre lap wording is an estimate, not a verified thirty-kilometre completion. Exact raced day, class and entry funding are unstated. The later training assessment is not a raced Nuts review.

Series

Tough Guy / Nettle Warrior

• This is the historical summer Nettle Warrior programme, distinct from winter Tough Guy at Perton. Historical South Perton Farm is identified; the exact entrance and any future edition remain unverified.
• The volunteer’s 1 August 2016 notice explicitly describes the last day of July. His later 29 July 2018 summer return notice contradicts a permanent-retirement inference from the earlier farewell; its exact raced day is unstated. The listed day is the last exact date verified here, not a claim that no later event occurred.
• Historical participants describe different lengths, classes and lap arrangements. A cross-country section followed by repeated assault-course circuits is not automatically two full-course laps. One novice stops after her first reported lap. These accounts do not verify a current route or universal completion.
