[$80 - $180 depending on entry time] Some folks enjoy a nice cold brew and some couch-time on the weekend. Others enjoy running ten miles through a fiery hell-scape filled with live 10,000 volt wires, waist-deep mud, and 15 foot walls of ice. To each his own, but for those who want to prove they’re manlier than a seasoned lumberjack, there’s the Tough Mudder- the self-described hardest race on the planet. And you know what? That description is spot on. The Tough Mudder is a brutal obstacle course/marathon all in one, steering its participants through 10-12 miles of hills, mud, ice-cold water, rope courses, walls, electrical shocks, and yes, lots and lots of fire. Tough Mudder events take place all over the world and anyone can sign up, although we recommend you be in damn good shape before you line up on the starting block. After all, the event was designed by members of the British Special Forces. Scroll down to see some people having what can only be described as good old fashioned fun.
