Once a year these two worlds collide in an international competition called World’s Toughest Mudder (WTM). Even if you are not an ultra-distance OCR athlete, WTM needs to be on your bucket list of races, and here is why…
If you are just joining us, I wrote an article last week about why I didn’t apply for the Spartan TV show (check it out here). The next day Rose Wetzel and Evan Dollard wrote a response (here). After reading my article again looking through Rose or Evan’s lens, I can easily see how they could interpret some of my statements as offensive.
World's Toughest Mudder is only two weeks away taking place at Lake Las Vegas on November 14th and 15th. In anticipation of the event, we sat down with Brady Archer, the course designer and race director for World's Toughest Mudder.
Recently, applications closed for the upcoming Spartan TV show and a casting call went out to elite obstacle racers.

Labor Day has come and gone; it can mean only one thing, championship race season. With four reoccurring obstacle course racing championships from different companies and one brand new championship event, it raises many questions amongst the athletes of the OCR world. First up the Warrior Dash Preview.

As an Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) athlete who typically is better at longer events, I often am asked the question “When are you going to do the Death Race (or insert other similar event)?” The answer is probably never…because it is a different sport.
