Are you one of those who dare to defy the odds? Are you game on taking on obstacles that push the barriers of physical strength and mental grit? Then Tough Mudder is where you ought to be.
Tough mudder is a 10-12 mile obstacle course that, according to the competition website, puts camaraderie over finisher rankings and is not a timed race but a team challenge that allows participants to experience exhilarating, yet safe, world-class obstacles they won't find anywhere else.
To date, Tough Mudder has had 1.3 million participants.
Dubbed 'Probably the Toughest Event on the Planet', each Tough Mudder endurance challenge tests participants' toughness, fitness, strength, stamina, mental grit and teamwork.
This year, 10 exhilarating new obstacles have been added to the courses, including 'King of the Swingers' -- a pendulum swing off a 12-foot platform; 'Dead Ringer' -- a transverse across a series of inclined pegs using handheld rings; and 'Cry Baby' -- a tunnel crawl through a tear-gas-like substance.
"The obstacle innovations we’ve made for 2015 will encourage participants to work together more than ever before, while still providing the personal challenge people have come to expect from Tough Mudder," said Nolan Kombol, Head of Innovation at Tough Mudder.
"We were thrilled to provide a fresh experience for returning Mudders and 20 new reasons for first-timers to finally take the plunge."
