One of the best things about working at Tough Mudder is the company’s dedication to professional development. Everyone at TMHQ is automatically enrolled in Tough Mudder University which aims to replicate the Harvard Business School education of our founder and CEO Will Dean. Not only does Will share all he has learned but also quite literally brings HBS to Tough Mudder, as the team reads monthly HBS case studies and participates in mock HBS classes.
| Tough Mudder Ventures |
|---|
We’re doing amazing things at Tough Mudder, both as entrepreneurs and for entrepreneurs. One of our newer initiatives, Tough Mudder Ventures, is a start-up funding program that will provide competitive seed funding, office space, mentoring, and more to select former Tough Mudder employees who launch their own ventures.
History, Philosophy, and TMHQ Mission
| The History of Tough Mudder |
|---|
Tough Mudder was founded by Englishmen Will Dean and Guy Livingstone. Dean came up with the idea while at Harvard Business School, and it was a finalist in Harvard Business School’s annual Business Plan Contest. He brought on Guy Livingstone to act as Chief Operating Officer. On an $8,000 marketing budget, they used Facebook to launch the first Tough Mudder event on May 2, 2010, at Bear Creek Resort in Allentown, PA. Since then, the number of Tough Mudder events has increased exponentially with 14 events in 2011 and 35 scheduled in 2012, including events in the U.K., Australia and Canada.
| The Tough Mudder Philosophy |
|---|
The Tough Mudder series was created to test toughness, fitness, strength, stamina and mental grit all in one place and all in one day. Sure, there are a few that will test these things – for thousands of dollars and a week of your life. But in one day and in one location? We don’t think so. Other mud runs? Forget it – unless you want to run alongside your 60-year-old grandmother. Tough Mudder is a truly exceptional event for truly exceptional people. Fair-weather runners should stay at home.
| The TMHQ Mission |
|---|
TMHQ’s long term mission is to shift the entire focus of endurance sports away from personal performance and boring repetitive exercises to varied challenges, teamwork, camaraderie, and genuine fun. By the end of 2012, we aim to be the leading brand in endurance sports.
