WHAT IS TOUGH MUDDER?
Tough Mudder hosts world-class obstacle course events and races with distances ranging from 5K to 100 Miles, packed with legendary obstacles. We provide the tools to help you reach goals and events to live out unforgettable experiences. Our mission: to grow Mudder Nation into a Global Tribe that lives courage, personal accomplishment, teamwork, and fun.
HOW LONG IS A TOUGH MUDDER?
We have plenty of different course variations featuring all different course lengths and difficulties:
Tough Mudder 5K: 3.1 mile course featuring 13 obstacles
Tough Mudder Classic: An 8-10 mile course featuring 25 obstacles
Tougher Mudder: Run the same 8-10 mile Classic course, but timed
Toughest Mudder: 12 hours, through the night, how many miles can you run?
World’s Toughest Mudder: the most extreme, insane, imposing, pulse-pounding, heart-stopping 24-hour obstacle course challenge on the planet.
Mini Mudder: A ¼ mile loop run 4 times for kids ages 5-12.
IS TOUGH MUDDER A RACE?
Tough Mudder 5k and 10k are not races. A Tough Mudder event is a personal challenge with the goal of overcoming obstacles and completing the course. This is why we do not time people and why we try to avoid using the word “race” when describing our events. This is a critical tenet of our philosophy and our pledge.
For those Mudders interested in competition, we offer a competitive Race Series, consisting of Tougher Mudder, Toughest Mudder and World’s Toughest Mudder.
