Tough Mudder

Ever wondered if you were strong enough to rescue children from a burning, obstacle-ridden war zone with a broken compass? I know I think about those kinds of scenarios all the time.

Where: 14 locations from San Francisco to Massachusetts throughout the year

Why: for the children

Risk Factor: This course is basically designed to kill you at each of its 19 stations. The most death is at station 19 (you find out what it is when you get there)

Why I Keep Mentioning Children: You have to climb over a school bus

Everything you could ever want to know here

If You Survive: They offer tattoos of the Tough Mudder logo. Add some more pain to your day for no extra charge.
