Tough Mudder, the extreme obstacle course stretching 18-20 km, is back in Toronto for August 16 and 17. The course, which is designed to stretch participants to their physical and mental limits, varies in obstacle and course type. To prepare for the strength, stamina and teamwork testing event, Tough Mudder offers many tools to help you prepare, such as their bootcamp.
The self-proclaimed toughest event on the planet (probably), Tough Mudder strives to accentuate a lifestyle, and is more than a mere fitness challenge.
Participants of the course should know the pledge well:
The Mudder Pledge
I understand that Tough Mudder is not a race but a challenge.
I put teamwork and camaraderie before my course time.
I do not whine – kids whine.
I help my fellow mudders complete the course.
I overcome all fears.
As stated by the New York Times, “The idea of Tough Mudder is not to win…but to have a story to tell.”
