If the idea of throwing yourself over a half-pipe aptly named Everest, slipping your way up the Mud Mile or swimming through Arctic Enema (*read giant pool of ice) fills you with excitement, then this one’s for you. The 12 mile obstacle course has been designed by the Special Forces and is a must for any adrenaline junkie. With over 1.5 million participants worldwide to date, Tough Mudder will push your mental and physical strengths to the max.
