Location: Sheep Show - Reno, Nevada

Note: You will need your favorite hunting backpack for the workout!

TOUGH SHEEP returns in 2027 with the same proven format and an even sharper edge. This one-day event is built to test the physical and mental demands of the backcountry athlete—where completion matters and grit wins the day.

Our goal is to raise over $55,000 for the Wild Sheep Foundation. Every registration directly supports that mission.

Complete the hunt workout, and you’ll be entered to win a sheep hunt. In addition, participants have a 1-in-30 chance of winning prizes from their wave sponsors. All registrants also receive a free T-shirt, swag bag, and finisher buckle.

Only 600 spots are available.

Win Wave Prizes

Each TOUGH Sheep wave is made up of 30 participants, with prizes tied to every wave. That means you’ll have a 1 in 30 chance to win amazing gear and swag from our partner brands — giving every finisher a shot at something special.

Plus, every registrant receives three FREE months of MTNTOUGH+ Training and a swag bag!
