4. Obstacle course race entry fee: Surprise him by covering the entry fee for an upcoming obstacle race that he has been eyeing. This not only encourages his passion but also provides him with the opportunity to try out new challenges and push his limits.

5. Personalized race bib holder: Get him a customized race bib holder where he can proudly display the bibs from his previous races. This unique and sentimental gift will serve as a reminder of his achievements and the obstacles he has overcome.

6. Book or video training programs: Expand his knowledge and expertise in mud running and obstacle courses by gifting him a book or video training program. There are several resources available that provide valuable tips, techniques, and training plans for these activities.

7. Massage or spa voucher: After intense races and training sessions, your son will certainly appreciate some relaxation time. Treat him to a massage or spa voucher to help him recover and rejuvenate his body.

8. Personalized water bottle or hydration pack: Staying hydrated is crucial during mud runs, making a customized water bottle or hydration pack a practical and thoughtful gift. You can personalize it with his name, a motivational quote, or a design related to mud running.

Remember, the most important aspect of gift-giving is to show your support and understanding of his interests. By choosing a gift that aligns with his passion for mud running and obstacle course races, you are recognizing and valuing his dedication and commitment to this activity.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
