Tough Mudder is not your average lame-ass mud run or spirit-crushing ‘endurance’ road race. Our 10-12 mile obstacle courses are designed by British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. Forget finish times. Simply completing a Tough Mudder is a badge of honor. Tough Mudder has raised over one million dollars for the Wounded Warrior Project.
WARNING: Tough Mudder is 3-4 times longer and MUCH TOUGHER than a typical mud run such as Warrior Dash. On average, only 78% of participants finish the event. Only those in reasonably strong physical condition should enter. See our Training Page.
the obstacle course is INSANE.
jumping off a 10-20 foot tower into a mud puddle filled with ice.
running through things that are ON FIRE.
passing through a maze of live wires that will electrocute you.
did i mention that you actually have to run too???
this obstacle course is spread out over 10-ish miles.
NO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
i admire the hub's insane sense of thrill seeking...but you better believe that i will be watching from the sidelines (while warm and dry) cheering like a madwoman and praying that he doesn't die. yes all participants have to sign a waver that doesn't hold the race people responsible if you kick the can mid-race. awesome. just what i would want to do....
anyone out there do any 'extreme' races like this?
any mud runs? warrior dashes?
or better yet, anyone do a tough mudder and live to talk about it?
my little brother is trying to talk me into doing this with him. the only thing that really worries me is the live wire, are they crazy!?!
ReplyDeleteplus it's big time expensive
@courtney - the hubs made me watch a few youtube video's...and you will see some pretty big guys running through the wires. when they hit a live one? BAM. totally on their ass.
ReplyDeleteit looks crazy awesome...too bad i'm a big fat weenie...
The most important question...will the hubs be wearing the barefoot shoes? ;)
ReplyDeletethat sounds CRAZY!!!!!!! wow. haha. I really want to do a mud run some day but I think I might start with something a bit more low key...haha!
