Event has Officially Begun – 10:00am PST Sat Update

The event has officially begun! After a rousing speech by startline emcee @seancorvelle the Mudders took off in a blaze of glory. According to 2x (2011, 2012) World’s Toughest Mudder champion Junyong Pak, however, the first and foremost danger of this hot Las Vegas climate is for participants to go out way too strong. Instead, he counseld: “Run the first half of the race with your head, and the second half with your heart.” To meet some of these crazy participants, see here: http://bit.ly/1xrzty0.
