OUR INSPIRATION

When looking for inspiration and motivation we tend to celebrate the pros, the elite and the naturally gifted. But, are we really motivated by the unachievable?

At Tough Mudder we recognize those that go unnoticed, helping others without the accolades or the Instagram filters. We all do amazing things every day to inspire those around us and we want to share these stories with our community.

    How Tough Mudder changed me as a person. Every time I tried an obstacle (and mostly failed) people were cheering for me. Strangers were cheering. And people helped you when you wanted or needed it. The fear slowly changed into pride as I felt myself become a little bit more brave as I went through the event.
