The best and muddiest pictures from the gruelling Hell and Back Challenge

If only we didn’t have to work today, we would’ve rocked that course.

SPORTS STARS DAMIEN DUFF and Malcolm O’Kelly were among the 4,000 gluttons for punishment that took part in the Hell and Back challenge in Wicklow today.

Competitors had to contend with rock and ice baths, vertical runs, electric shocks, ‘walls of death’ and electric shock runs all in the spirit of adventure, endurance and fundraising.

Here are some of the best pictures from the day:

Damien Duff gave it socks

Good thing he did his stretching beforehand

If it looks like a cult and sounds like a cult…

We’re not sure if this soak was rain or dunk-related

These youngsters were eager to give it a shot

Like Gladiators, only much, much tougher

Crazy in red

Don’t mess with this gang
