Tough Mudder - NorCal

Tough Mudder is described as "probably the toughest event on the planet". After watching a bunch of their video's, I would have to agree!!

Here is their Company Overview as posted on Facebook: "Tough Mudder events are hardcore 10-12 mile obstacle courses designed by British Special Forces to test your all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. With the most innovative courses, half a million inspiring participants, and more than $2 million dollars raised for the Wounded Warrior Project, Tough Mudder is the premier adventure challenge series in the world."

This isn't just a race - you can create a team and enter as a group!

Here is their 2016 Preview video of the 2016 obstacles - this is definitely something that you have to watch!!

There are no Northern California Tough Mudder Events for 2024: You can check the Tough Mudder Website for the nearest events.

Prior Year NorCal Location
 

Tahoe 2016

Location: The NorCal Tahoe Location was at Northstar, California in 2016

Training for the Event:

Obviously, this is a ridiculously physically demanding event, so some advanced training is a great idea! Each course will have 10-12 miles of hills, mud, water, ropes, walls, electric shocks, and fire!

Their website has a great section on preparation and training for the event: http://toughmudder.com/training-prep

The Northstar event will be 10.2 miles - you can check out the 2016 course map link:
