Transcript Tough Mudder Team Presentation

What is the Tough Mudder
Tough Mudder is an endurance event series in which participants attempt 10 to 12mile long military-style obstacle courses. Designed and created by British Special
Forces to test physical strength, stamina, teamwork and mental grit. Known as the
Toughest Event on the Planet the obstacles often play on common human fears,
such as fire, water, electricity and heights.
The main principle of the Tough Mudder revolves around teamwork. Participants
must commit to helping others complete the course, putting teammates before
themselves, and overcoming fears.
