Jay to Take on World’s Toughest Mudder in Memory of Best Friend

Written by on 1st June 2026

A Market Harborough man is preparing to take on the World’s Toughest Mudder in memory of his best friend.

Jay Lee will compete in the gruelling 24-hour endurance obstacle challenge on June 27th and 28th in the grounds of Belvoir Castle, raising money for The Nimmo Foundation following the death of 27-year-old Alex Nimmo by suicide in 2022.

The foundation supports people in accessing therapy and professional help as quickly as possible.

The event will see competitors take on non-stop endurance racing across a demanding 5-mile obstacle course, with mud, ice-cold water and extreme physical and mental challenges across a course revealed only on the day.

Jay has already raised more than £900 in sponsorship and spoke to HFM’s Nick Shaw:
