If you’ve ever found yourself knee-deep in mud during a Tough Mudder or gasping for air after scaling a Spartan Race wall, you know it’s more than just a physical test.
It’s about pushing yourself to the limit, bonding with your fellow warriors, and, in many cases, doing it all for a cause you genuinely care about.
That’s why the latest news is so exciting: Tough Mudder and Spartan Race have teamed up with GiveStar, the next-gen fundraising platform, to make it easier than ever to give back while you conquer those brutal courses.
Starting in 2025, participants in every UK Tough Mudder and Spartan event will be able to use GiveStar to raise money for the charities that matter most to them.
It’s a match made in muddy heaven, combining teamwork, personal growth, and a chance to do some serious good for the world.
Whether you’re crawling through muck or leaping over fire, you’ll also be raising funds for causes close to your heart.
Here’s how it works: when you register for an event, GiveStar automatically creates a custom fundraising page just for you.
It’ll land straight in your inbox, ready to go, and you can share it with friends, family, and colleagues to start gathering donations.
With GiveStar’s free app and snazzy features like ‘Boost Donate’ (which lets people give contactless donations), you’ll be all set to smash your fundraising goals.
They’ve even got leaderboards and challenges to keep things competitive—because let’s face it, we all love a bit of healthy rivalry!
Charity partners are in for a treat too, with GiveStar offering tailored packages that include the lowest-priced event entries, custom email campaigns, GDPR-compliant data handling, and cool event-day activations.
Oh, and did I mention? Current charity partners are seeing a threefold return on their investment. Not too shabby!
In case you’re wondering if GiveStar can deliver the goods, they’ve already raised over £17 million for some of the UK’s biggest names in charity, including Macmillan, Cancer Research UK, and the British Red Cross.
With that kind of track record, it’s safe to say they know a thing or two about getting people to open their wallets for a good cause.
As Matt Brooke, Senior Vice President of Tough Mudder and Spartan Race Europe, put it: “Tough Mudder and Spartan Race have always been about more than just the physical challenge. It’s about pushing limits, building camaraderie, and giving back.
Partnering with GiveStar amplifies our commitment to philanthropy, allowing our community to fundraise effortlessly for the causes they are passionate about.”
Tom Montague, Co-Founder of GiveStar, is just as pumped: “We’re honoured to join forces with Tough Mudder and Spartan Race. Their participants embody all the qualities we see in our community of fundraisers: resilience, determination, and teamwork.
This partnership is the perfect fit. We can’t wait to unlock the fundraising potential of Tough Mudder and Spartan Race.”
So, whether you’re already planning your next obstacle course or thinking about how to rally your mates for a good cause, this partnership is going to make it easier—and more fun—than ever to raise money while smashing your personal best. It’s time to make every mile count.
