The average 5K is completed in 30 minutes. The average marathon is completed in 4 hours and 30 minutes. The average Ironman is completed in 12 hours and 30 minutes. Think about that. And then think about 24 hours on the Toughest Obstacle Course On The Planet. Welcome to World’s Toughest Mudder, where 24 hours isn’t just the average completion time, it’s the only completion time.
World’s Toughest Mudder was designed to give the world’s most hardcore OCR athletes the opportunity to display their competitive spirit in a non-stop 24 hour battle of grit and willpower. It’s where Mudder Nation and OCR-fanatics push their physical strength and mental toughness beyond their limits. Oh, and as a bonus, they’re also the the first to test new 2019 obstacle innovations.
This year we’re serving up more ways than ever to get in on the challenge of a lifetime no matter where you are. So whether or not you’re making the trip to Atlanta, being a part of the World’s Toughest Mudder action has never been easier.
Here’s how to catch the action of #WTM 2018 without leaving the comfort of your own home.
