“It was a tough event and all glory belong to God for allowing me to compete in the race, after running through the electroshock therapy obstacle I felt strong knowing I finished the course” he said.7
Only 78 percent of participants successfully complete a Tough Mudder event. Unlike most obstacle courses the Tough Mudder is also about experiencing a true sense of camaraderie.
To get over some of the obstacles you will need the help of others if the courses were created to be simply too much for one man to tackle alone. They help out other Tough Mudders.
