Tough Mudder

Tough Mudder is an event series that challenges teams of participants to overcome 10-12 mile long muddy obstacle courses. The event started in 2010 and the 2012 event series includes 35 events in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia. More than 500,000 participants worldwide took part in Tough Mudder events in 2012, raising $3.5 million for the Wounded Warrior Project in the process.

This year Dylan and I  along with a group 17 others, did the Tough Mudder Mid-Atlantic on 8 Sep, in
Crumland Farm, MD (about an hr from DC). http://toughmudder.com/events/mid-atlantic-2012/

World’s Toughest Mudder is the final event of each Tough Mudder series calendar year. Different from traditional Tough Mudder events, World's Toughest Mudder is a 24-hour race designed to find the toughest man, woman, and four-person team. Participants must qualify for the event by completing a regular Tough Mudder event during the year and submitting an application for entry. World's Toughest Mudder 2012 will be held at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ on November 17 and 18 (and Dylan has a team going to it... last year he came in 2nd overall (out of a field of over 800!).
