The Tyre Swamp is part balance, part grip strength and part figuring out where the hell to put your feet.

Each tyre is suspended from a rope over the water, so the second you step onto one, it's going to move.

The trick is to land with both feet on the tyre, find your balance, then use the rope to take as much of your bodyweight as possible. Pull yourself upwards with your arms and use the rope to help swing yourself towards the next tyre.

Think less "carefully stepping across" and more Tarzan through the swamp.

TRAIN FOR IT: Grip strength, rope holds, upper-body pulling strength and two-foot balance on unstable surfaces.

🏁 Competitive Wave: Penalty obstacle. Make it across or you'll earn yourself some burpees.
🙌 Fun Run: Optional, but we'd definitely give this one a go.
🧒 JUNIOR WAVE: This obstacle is included in the Junior Wave.

Worst case, you get wet. 💦

🍻 FIRST ONE'S ON CASCADE.

We're pretty stoked to welcome Cascade Brewery on board as the Official Beverage Sponsor of The Rugged Race 2026.

And they're making sure there's something cold waiting for you at the finish line.

Every Rugged Race participant can grab a free finisher drink, with Cascade draught 3.5% pouring for the 18+ crowd. 🍺

A Tassie race, at a Tassie venue, with a Tassie b**r. Feels pretty right to us. 🤝

Big thanks to Cascade Brewery for getting behind The Rugged Race this year.

Cascade draught 3.5% available to participants aged 18+ only. ID required to claim.

Looks easy, but don’t be fooled.

The Pontoons are less about strength and more about staying centred, committing to your movement and not overthinking it.

🔥 THE TRICK:

Step as close to the centre of each pontoon as possible and keep moving. Aim for only 2-3 quick steps on each section before crossing onto the next. The longer you hang around, the more time it has to wobble.

Keep your body centred over your feet and avoid throwing your weight too far left or right. Once a pontoon starts tipping, recovering your balance gets much harder.

🏋️ TRAIN FOR IT:

Single-leg balance, lateral stability, quick footwork and core control.

🏁 COMPETITIVE WAVE: Penalty obstacle. Fail or skip it and you'll be doing burpees.
🤘 FUN RUN: Give it a crack, but you can skip it if needed.
🧒 JUNIOR WAVE: This obstacle is included in the Junior Wave.

Our biggest tip? Don't stop. Centre. Step. Step. GO.

Come join us at Redbanks for a casual run around the course + some obstacle practice.

This is a chance to try some of the obstacles you'll be facing on race day, pick up techniques from fellow racers, and figure out what you might want to work on before the big day.

We'll jog around 5km of the course as a group, stopping at a selection of the major obstacles so everyone can have a few practice runs, work on technique, and have a go without the pressure of race day.

Afterwards, stick around for a free sausage sizzle and grab a drink from the bar!
