This year Tough Mudder introduced the 8-hour Toughest Mudder series as part of their road to World's Toughest Mudder. Athletes followed the series around North America and the United Kingdom. In the end of the series, Ryan Atkins locked up the first place position overall with Allison Tai taking the top spot for women and seventh overall in the series.

The Toughest Mudder rankings were scored by adding the total miles completed at each athlete’s top 3 Toughest finishes of 2017. In the event of a tie, the cumulative time was added for an internal tie break. Cash prizes were awarded for the top men and women in the final rankings.

Top Men's and Women's Prizes

1st – $5,000
2nd – $2,000
3rd – $1,000
4th – $500
5th – $250

The Toughest Mudder male and female received a $10,000 bonus prize.
