Drumheller businesses and residents are invited to drop by a Tough Mudder open house on Thursday, February 19, downstairs in the large conference room at the Badlands Community Facility.
The open house is scheduled from 4:30 pm to 8:00 pm, and people are invited to drop by anytime during those hours.
Drumheller Festival Society president Ryan Semchuk said the three people from the Tough Mudder headquarters team will be in town for a few days, and attending the open house, including the general manager of Canada, the operations manager, and the marketing representative for all of Tough Mudder.
“If you want to come down, ask questions about Tough Mudder, find out how to get involved, maybe you’re interested in running the event. Maybe you want to get your business involved. Whatever the situation is, we’d love to just have people come down at any time during that time, stop in, come meet the crew, and they’d love to meet the community of Drumheller.”
Semchuk said now that Drumheller has its inaugural Tough Mudder under its belt, the Festival Society expects more people to become involved, either in helping with the event or participating in the obstacle course.
Close to 10,000 people took part or cheered on their family and friends during Drumheller’s Tough Mudder 2014.
Drumheller’s 2015 Tough Mudder event is scheduled for September 5 and 6 of the long weekend. Semchuk said the Festival Society begins the planning for this year’s Tough Mudder the first two weeks in March.
