Training & Preparation for Tough Mudder

Tough Mudder will punish you, no matter your shape, size, or current level of fitness. As such, we encourage all Mudders℠ to increase their physical training in preparation for the event. That said, completing a Mudder℠ is as much about mental toughness, grit, and camaraderie (and having a great time) as anything exclusively physical. In terms of what you are looking at: each Tough Mudder course will have 18-20 kilometers of hills, mud, water, ropes, walls, electric shocks, and fire designed to push you to your limit. Want more?
