El Gouna, one of the fully integrated towns by Orascom Development situated in the Red Sea, in collaboration with The TriFactory is excited to announce hosting the world\u2019s most famous obstacle course challenge, Tough Mudder, at El Gouna on the 6th of May. The international sports event is organized in more than 30 countries around the world and will be back in Egypt and for the first time in the Red Sea under the auspices of the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
\nObstacle course races and challenges (also known as OCRs) have been gaining popularity internationally over the past decade, encouraging amateur athletes of all ages and abilities to test their mental and physical strength in a fun and exciting atmosphere. Some OCRs are competitive, while others are purely for the enjoyment of participants, choosing to promote a spirit of camaraderie and achievement. Tough Mudder falls into the latter category, and since its introduction in Egypt in 2019, the event has witnessed thousands of participants take part and successfully complete the challenge. In addition to its classic 5K distance, the event will also include Mini Mudder, a fun challenge for kids ages 8-13 who enjoy pushing their limits and getting muddy!
\n\u201cTough Mudder is a global sports brand that we\u2019ve been organizing in Egypt for the past four years with great results. We\u2019ve worked hard to take this event outside of Cairo and we\u2019ve found the perfect partner in El Gouna, the home of our annual El Gouna Half Marathon and an amazing seaside destination that\u2019s fun for the entire family,\u201d says Ayman Hakky, Founder & CEO of The TriFactory. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to organize the event on May 6th and to hopefully turn it into another annual event on El Gouna\u2019s calendar.\u201d
\nTough Mudder Egypt is organized under the auspices of the Ministry of Youth & Sports, who have steadfastly supported the event since its introduction in Egypt. H.E. Dr. Ashraf Sobhy, Minister of Youth & Sports, has personally attended two editions of the event (in 2020 and 2021). As well as the support of the Ministry, the event is supported by Shedwan, El Gouna\u2019s latest real estate development, and welcomes a range of other distinguished sponsors, both local and international, who help grow the event\u2019s profile and engage with participants on-ground.
\nCommenting on the event, Mohamed Ashour, El Gouna Head of Commercial and Business Development, \u201cEl Gouna is a trendsetter and a pioneer in creating a lively environment for their residents; thus, we were keen to be hosting Tough Mudder for the first time in the Red Sea. This step comes in line with Orascom Development’s strategy to promote tourism through diverse sports activities and encouraging athletes and residents of El Gouna of all ages to enjoy a fun and inspiring experience which reinforces our unrelenting vision in creating fully-integrated vibrant towns. Tough Mudder at El Gouna will also include \u201cMini Mudder\u201d which is a fun challenge for kids ages 8-13 to bring the families together in a new and spirited experience.\u201d
\nHe added, \u201cEl Gouna has all that it takes, in terms of infrastructure, facilities and space to be a hub for sports and other activities, hosting international sports events throughout the year. I believe the town provides an ideal destination for people to pursue a lifestyle best suited to their needs and aspirations, whether it\u2019s a life of tranquility, adventure, luxury, sports activities or a unique blend of all.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
