What Are Tough Mudder Challenges?

TOUGH MUDDER LAUNCHES NEW “TOUGH MUDDER CHALLENGES” DIGITAL EXPERIENCE

Tough Mudder Challenges, the latest endurance experience from the global active lifestyle brand, launches for registration on Thursday, June 25th.

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.

“We’re excited to bring another irreverent, unconventional suite of fitness experiences to our global community,” said Kyle McLaughlin, global CEO of Tough Mudder. “Participants of all fitness abilities will have a new way to join the Tough Mudder community, pushing themselves in their own homes and neighborhoods to overcome obstacles and transform their fitness.”

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.
