An extreme race is making it's way to Rockford over the weekend at the Rockford International Airport. 

That's right the Tough Mudder and the Tough Mudder Half will test the athletic abilities of people who travel all over the country in the 5 mile race.  Runners will be subjected to dozens of obstacles, some of which include fire, ice, and electricity, while running through shin deep mud.  Even if you aren't competing yourself it's some solid entertainment watching people try.

It's not too late to register to compete in either race or spectate.  Just go to gorockford.com to register.  Good luck to all those competing.
