Event Details
The course
Mudders, we apologize that we were not able to find a venue in Michigan. TMHQ visits between 20 and 30 sites, looking for the hardest terrain possible in order to plan Probably the Toughest Event on the Planet and we would never want to compromise you experience for the sake of a specific location. Unlike other, shorter, ‘fun’ mud runs, we need to find somewhere truly hardcore, where your physical and mental grit will be put to the ultimate test. This is why we have chosen Amherst Quarry, OH for our Michigan event. With 12 miles and at least 27 bad ass obstacles, we promise you won’t be disappointed.
Starting Time
If you are registered as an individual, you will select your preferred start time during online registration. If you are registered with a team, only the team captain will select a preferred start time. Please note, while we do our best to accommodate this preference, it is not a guarantee. You will be emailed your assigned start time within a week of the event.
