Mudder Island
Mudder Island is an annual cross-country obstacle course on the island of Poel .
Course
Mudder Island is an obstacle course over beach areas, fields and a former military training area. The design is based on military training courses.
According to the organizer, the participants have the choice between two courses:
- A long distance of 18-20 km with around 35 obstacles.
- A shorter route of 8-10 km with around 15 obstacles.
The name Mudder, reminiscent of English, mud , and North German modder , suggests that obstacles with plenty of mud have to be overcome on the route, for example a crawl through a mud bath under a wire entanglement. Other obstacles include a water slide, climbing wall, straw bales, stream field, rope wall and, as a special challenge, a four-meter-high arched wooden wall. It can only be overcome by very sporty people on their own. The others depend on teamwork and the help of athletes.
