Last year, Ryan Atkins went from being a total unknown to 2013 World’s Toughest Mudder. He went ahead of two time champ and perennial favorite Junyong Pak in the middle of the night and never looked back, winning by a lap. Hungry for revenge in 2014, Pak is looking to take back his title.
Here is how the two stack up
| Name: | Junyong Pak | Ryan Atkins | |
| Nickname: | Pak, Pak-Man | The Canadian Express | |
| Previous WTM: | 1st 2011-2012 | 1st 2013 | |
| 2nd 2013 | |||
| Other 2014 | 1st Bonefrog Challenge-MA | 1st Spartan Sprint-Toronto | |
| Accomplishments | 1st Mud, Guts &Glory-OH | 1st Spartan Super-Toronto | |
| 1st Battlefrog DC | 2nd Spartan Beast-VT | ||
| 2nd Spartan Sprint-MA | 2nd OCRWC-OH | ||
| 1st Spartan Sprint-CT |
Who is your money on this year for overall champ?
Pak, Atkins, or another unknown in The Field of approximately 1200?
