A group of Yukoners will test their physical fitness and mental fortitude this weekend by attempting to complete the Tough Mudder this weekend in Whistler, B.C.

Natashia Liedtke-Thompson is the organizer of the team, known as the Dirty Northerners.

"It's kind of a bucket list thing,” she explained. "It's one of those events that we're doing just to say that we did.”

Liedtke-Thompson's team includes Allyssa Tone, Zara Neukom, Sara Schedel, Jane Bell, Brittany Widrig, Robbie Stuckey, Evan Campbell and Coty Fraser.

Tough Mudder is a supporter of the Wounded Warrior Project.
