Nato soldiers get down and dirty taking on Czech Mudness obstacle course

Nato soldiers have been getting dirty diving into the mud as part of the 'Czech Mudness' obstacle competition.

The Czech contingent of the Nato multinational battlegroup in Lithuania hosted 71 teams from eight allied nations as they dived into mud during the race.

Soldiers had to navigate a series of challenges in mudslides and forest trails in a seven-kilometre obstacle course.

The teams that jumped into the mud for the event came from Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway and the United States.

To successfully navigate the course, the soldiers had to work together to tackle different obstacles and cross the finish line together.
