2. Run through the Mud, Tough Mudder

 

Designed by the British Special Forces, the Tough Mudder consists of a grueling 10-12 mile mud-filled obstacle course held in several locations worldwide. These events are not only designed to test your strength, stamina, and mental endurance but predominantly to emphasize a sense of camaraderie with fellow participants. Obstacles include crawling under suspended cargo nets, swimming through an ice bath, and hiking up a 40-foot cliff of slippery mud. This is a great opportunity to rally up a few friends and create a team as you go through this intense obstacle course together. A proud supporter of the Wounded Warrior Project, the Tough Mudder is not for the faint of heart but definitely has its perks including a free concert, free beer once you finish, and an opportunity to play in the mud!
