WORLD’S TOUGHEST MUDDER
At this time, there are no additional updates about 2018 World’s Toughest Mudder prizes, categories, or payouts. It is also unclear what the distinction of being a contender is for WTM. Last year, it was early pit space, etc. We assume as much this year, but hasn’t been laid out in writing.
Here’s the most recent updated article by Tough Mudder HQ.
