Tough Mudder Challenges Launched

Inspired by Tough Mudder’s world-famous teamwork-based obstacle course experiences, Tough Mudder Challenges will allow a global community of participants to tackle wild tests of their physical stamina and mental grit, in a bespoke digital platform tracking their mileage, elevation, and obstacle achievements.

Unlike the boring one-and-done virtual races that have fatigued runners and obstacle course racers in the past few months, Tough Mudder Challenges engages participants on a 21-day journey with new twists and turns every week. Participants will work to complete four mandatory components over the course of the challenge, choosing to tackle the distance, elevation and other goals at their own pace and by their own means (running, walking, biking, blading, swimming– go wild). Every week, they’ll be thrown a few curveballs, selecting from two of four flash obstacles that will drop weekly during the live challenge. Progress will be tracked live in the Tough Mudder Challenges digital platform– allowing participants to sync their wearable devices and upload photos and videos of obstacle completion, while displaying their achievements with the thousands of Mudders tackling that Challenge at the same time.

Going at it alone, with family, or joining a local Mudder Tribe to tackle it together, Tough Mudder Challenges will feature a new theme every month. For participants who are ready to commit to the next six challenges (July-December), they’ll join the Everest Expedition, conquering an elevation gain and distance equivalent to summiting Everest over the course of their journey.

Tough Mudder Challenge participants can celebrate their achievements with our Challenges Achievement kit, including the brand-new Tough Mudder Challenges black headband, the limited edition 10th Anniversary Tough Mudder headband, official 2020 finisher shirt, and a new unique commemorative coin (North America) or pin (Europe) for each Challenge. Everest Expeditioners will earn all six coins or pins, and a unique display to honor their achievement.

Registration for July’s Grand Canyon Challenge opens Thursday, June 25th, and kicks off on July 9th. Additional challenges for August through December are available for registration, and themes will be unveiled two weeks prior to the Challenge kickoff.
