Mud Racing

Arctic Enema is Tough Mudder’s ICE BATH. It’s also sometimes called “Chernobyl Jacuzzi”. Basically it is a giant cargo hull (sometimes mud pit) full of ICE water. You have to jump in, go under a beam, and then force through the ice to get out. Depending on the location, it’s either refreshing or it really sucks. Either way it will take your breath away when you jump in

The Mud Mile obstacles (sometimes called “Trenches”) is one of the funnest obstacles at Tough Mudder. You will get totally dirty on this and have lots of fun doing it. THis vid will give you some tips to enjoy it more.

TIps for the Trench Warfare Obstacle (aka Dirty Holes) at Tough Mudder. Lots of people get freaked out by this, but its not as bad you might think. Watch the vid for TIPS

Electric Eel (aka Shock on the Rocks) is one of the most DIFFICULT but also one of the FUNNEST obstacles at Tough Mudder. Yes, you will get shocked. It’s a long, slow crawl across a watered down tarp, under the barb wires which have electric wires hanging down – doesn’t that sound like fun? This vid will give you tips on how to avoid getting shocked or how to GET shocked – your choice.

Tough Mudder Wounded Warrior Carry (aka Fireman’s Carry) is a fun ‘obstacle’ at some of the new Tough Mudder races. This was filmed at the Tampa Tough Mudder. In the vid we’ll give you some tips to help you as well as some funny clips too.
