What’s the next best thing to being a participant? Being a volunteer! It’s like being on the boundary at a cricket game, except Ricky Ponting is getting shocked by 10,000 volts of electricity (and isn’t a millionaire). The Mudder℠ Brigade helps make Tough Mudder Probably the Toughest Event on the Planet.

Testimonials from Past Volunteers

“A great way to get a sense of the event! I didn’t feel ready to run a Tough Mudder, so I signed up to volunteer. After helping out and seeing what it was like, I’m now gonna sign up for the next one in Texas – can’t wait!” — Jim S.

“Volunteering at Tough Mudder Tri-State with my friends was awesome, and I know my cheering helped keep morale high for all the runners that went past our water station.” — Margaret L.

“My favorite part of volunteering? When a guy stopped after my obstacle and asked for my number!” — Vicky D.

“I had a kickass time volunteering at Tough Mudder NorCal… especially watching folks slide into the snow-making pond!” –Harvey N.

“Really great event! I was put in a group with people I didn’t know, but we all got along great and now we try to hang out and get a drink every few weeks. Dos Equis, of course!”–Mark T.
