Tough Mudder is an endurance event series that features hardcore obstacle courses designed to test participants all-around strength, stamina, and mental grit. The obstacles often play on common human fears, such as fire, water, and electricity. Tough Mudder was co-founded in 2010 by Will Dean and Guy Livingstone, both British subjects living in New York. Since then, it has grown to become the premier challenge series in the world, with events in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, and New Zealand. Tough Mudder events range from 5K to 100 miles, and participants can choose from different adventures featuring all different course lengths and difficulties. Tough Mudder is not a race, but a personal challenge with the goal of overcoming obstacles and completing the course. Tough Mudders obstacles have set it apart from the pack since 2010, and the company has developed a full range of challenges with a wicked sense of creativity. Some of the obstacles include:
-
Electroshock Therapy: A field of live wires that participants must run through.
-
Arctic Enema: A dumpster filled with ice water that participants must jump into and swim through.
-
Everest: A quarter-pipe that participants must run up and over, with the help of other participants.
-
Mud Mile: A series of mud pits that participants must crawl through.
Tough Mudder is a community built on teamwork and overcoming obstacles, where stepping outside your comfort zone is the reward. The companys mission is to grow Mudder Nation into a global community that lives courage, personal accomplishment, teamwork, and fun.
