The Tough Mudder is a team-oriented ten to twelve mile obstacle course, which tests physical strength and mental grit with over one hundred and fifty different events. This event was founded by Will Dean, “a former counter-terrorism agent for the British Government. While getting his MBA at Harvard, Dean was inspired to start Tough Mudder out of frustration with unimaginative and repetitive marathons, triathlons, mud runs, and other adventure runs” (Will Dean). The idea behind tough mudder is not how fast you can get it done, but the fact that you and your three other teammates did get it done. Each challenge in the event is rated under the four terms of Strength, Agility, Grit and Camaraderie as to help describe the toughness of each one.
