Harriet Law, Emma Richer, Amy Jacobs, Claire Stocker and Rebekah Nicholson all work at MHA Stratton House on Park Lane, and took part in the event at the Badminton Estate.
Tough Mudder creates hardcore obstacle courses in either a 5k or 15k format, designed to test all-around strength, stamina, and mental grit.
The four were joined by colleagues from MHA Horfield Lodge, Meg Hopgood and Kim Woods as well as two partners.

The total amount raised was £710.00, which will go towards the home’s amenities fund from which activities and trips will be arranged for residents.
Speaking after the challenge, Harriet Law, who works as an administration manager said: “We had an amazing time during the challenge and are already thinking of doing it again next year.
“The support we received was phenomenal and it was an amazing feeling to smash the target.
“We all felt very proud to represent MHA and the reaction we got when we came back to the home was priceless.
Emma Richer, the deputy home manager added: “It was very tiring, but so worth it. We were very nervous prior to the challenge, but we helped each other out and got through it.
“It was very muddy, it took us around three hours to complete but it was a great experience.
“On behalf of the home, we want to thank everyone for their support and look forward to doing it again.”
