Probably the toughest event on the planet

Tough Mudder is a 10-12 mile mud and obstacle course designed to drag you out of your comfort zone by testing your physical strength, stamina, and mental grit. With no podiums, winners, or clocks to race against, it’s not about how fast you can cross the finish line. Rather, it’s a challenge that emphasizes teamwork, camaraderie, and accomplishing something almost as tough as you are.

  • Obstacle Innovation

    Our course designers and engineers are the most creative, forward-thinking, and maybe even slightly insane team of innovators on the planet. Whether they’re trekking the globe for inspiration, or testing new ideas in the lab, they’re constantly working to make sure our obstacles completely blow your mind. Check out just a few of the ass-kicking, mind-bending creations you’ll see on the course in 2016.

  • The Block Ness Monster

    The Block Ness Monster is as epic and tricky as Nessie herself. Mudders have to help one another push, pull, and roll their way through 60ft of slick, rotating barriers.

  • King of the Swingers

    Leap from a 12 foot platform to catch a swing arm and reach with all your might to tap the bell dangling from above. Many will attempt - few will make that sweet bell-ringing music.

  • Pyramid Scheme

    Unlike its namesake, this obstacle is all about teamwork scramble, climb, and push your way up a slippery incline with the help of your fellow Mudders

  • Arctic Enema 2.0

    Our favorite icy plunge has been updated to include a high speed entry slide and center wall you must scale to escape the 10 tons of ice we jam into this frigid dumpster dive.

  • Everest 2.0

    This slick quarter pipe is over 15’ tall, with a recurved top to make it extra hard to get that handhold. You can aim for the top, but there’s no promise you won’t end up at the bottom.

Tougher Together

The strength of one person is nothing compared to the power of a team. Tough Mudder’s full lineup of team-oriented obstacles guarantees that you’ll cross the finish line with more friends than you started with. Whether it’s through a helping hand or an extra vote of confidence, your fellow Mudders will be there for you every step of the way. Whether you arrive solo or with a team, all you need to come with is the strength to leave your fears in the parking lot and the willingness to push the boundaries your comfort zone.

Unforgettable Experiences

Wondering what it’s like to run a Tough Mudder? Don’t take our word for it—see what these Legionnaires are saying.

  • My first Tough Mudder was a total surprise. I started the day with one friend and finished with twelve new friends. I was able to get past my pain because of the core values of Tough Mudder—because of TEAMWORK! I am grateful to Tough Mudder because they inspired my motto "complete, not compete.” I only compete against myself.

    - Haruko Harrington Chan, 2x Legionnaire

  • Tough Mudder takes me outside my comfort zone and tests me both physically and mentally...It is this camaraderie, along with the opportunity to challenge myself, which keeps me coming back to Tough Mudder, event after event.

    - Damian Schultz, 27x Legionnaire

  • If you really want to know why I'm passionate about Tough Mudder, I'm going to need more than a mere paragraph to explain…

    - Joe Perry, 57x Legionnaire

  • I run for the feeling of pride knowing that you helped someone overcome a difficult challenge. I run for the teamwork and camaraderie that only Mudders understand and share throughout these events. Tough Mudder is a life changing experience that I hope to continue sharing with new people every day.

    - John Thoel, 3x Legionnaire
