The latest stop of America’s Toughest Mudder race series landed at 508 International just outside of Charlton, MA, at the Tough Mudder Boston event. The brand-new course proved a beast for all 660 participants who started the race, but resulted in an extremely competitive event, with several lead changes on the final laps between Toughest Mudder rookies and veterans alike. Plus, the top spots on the podium were up for grabs, since Tougher Mudder Whistler winners Ryan Atkins and Lindsay Webster opted to sit out the 8-hour race this time around. 

In the women’s division, Tough Mudder Pro Team member Allison Tai came out of the starting gate very strong, gaining the lead over Sprint Lap winner Alex Roudayna 2 hours into the race.  Multiple attacks by Anne Champagne were unable to overcome Tai’s incredible pace—she finished with 40 miles and 11th place overall. On the wen’s side, Miles Bartlett’s Sprint Lap win in 37 minutes looked to pose a strong challenge to Toughest Mudder veterans Shaun Stephens-Whale and Mark Jones. The dropping temps and light drizzle were no match for them, as Stephens-Whale jumped out to a 2-minute lead over Jones by Mile 15. As Stephens-Whale methodically increased his lead over the next 30 miles, the race for 2nd was extremely close with multiple lead changes by rookies Tyler Mccreddie, Mark Jones, and Ja Shua Ried. Check out the course map, venue overview and the play-by-play recaps below for a closer look at the fight for the rest of the podium spots.

Course Review

The Toughest Mudder East course featured 18 obstacles throughout a 5-mile circuit course. The overnight race format started at the stroke of midnight, pushing participants to complete as many laps of the course as possible in 8 hours and 30 minutes. Freshly cut trails through the dense and dark woods dominated the landscape, giving the trail runners an early advantage on the Sprint Lap—a full hour of limited obstacle openings, providing athletes a taste of what’s to come for the next 7 hours. The early sections of course were characterized by Tough Mudder classics of Kiss of Mud 2.0, Arctic Enema, and Berlin Walls. By 2am, signature obstacles like Rope-a-Dope, Kong, and Spunky Monkey were opened, quickly taxing participants of all upper-body strength. Rounding out the end of the 5-mile circuit was The Stacks—a unique Vault feature reminiscent of Tri-State’s Massive Turd. An overnight upgrade to Happy Ending included water jets spraying down as participants climbed up the front face before sliding down into the finish line.

Men’s Recap:

After passing Sprint Lap winner Miles Bartlett on the 2nd lap, Shaun Stephens-Whale (2nd place @ America’s Toughest South) continued to widen his lead on the rest of the male chase team comprised of Mark Jones, Tyler Mccreddie, and Ja Shua Ried. With a full 5-mile lap lead, 6 hours into the race it was a race against himself and the clock to achieve the coveted 50-mile patch before 8:30am. The fight for 2nd place was far from over. Mccreddie’s 2nd place lead over Jones was reduced to just 3 minutes by Mile 25, followed closely behind by Ried. As the sun rose and time wound down, both Jones and Ried crossed the start line one minute before it closed for good at 7:45am. Mccreddie’s fatigued legs prevented him from pursuing a final lap, completing his 40 miles at 7:41 am, and securing 4th place. After nearly 8 hours of racing, it all came down to the final 5 miles. Jones’ 7-minute lead at the start of Mile 40 proved to not be enough as Ried passed Jones in the final mile approaching The Stacks. Crossing at 8:28am, Ried secured 2nd place and a $2,000 prize. Jones’ 8:35am finish of Lap 9 fell beyond the time cutoff, leaving him with 40 official miles.

Top 5 — Men:

1. Shaun Stephens-Whale

2. Ja Shua Ried

3. Mark Jones

4. Tyler Mccredie

5. Jason Harley

Women’s Recap:

In the women’s field, Alex Roudayna’s Sprint Lap win just ahead of Allison Tai presented a great matchup between two ultra-distance Tough Mudder veterans. The constant drizzle and dropping overnight temperatures overtook Roudayna yet again, allowing Tai to extend her lead on Tougher Mudder 2017 Champion Anne Champagne by Mile 15. A familiar name on the Tough Mudder circuit, Deanna Brasz sat in 3rd place just minutes ahead of Kelly Sullivan and Kera Pezzuti by mile 25. By Mile 30, a very tired and cold Brasz pushed on for a 7th lap ahead of the 8:30am cutoff time, in a final attempt to secure 5th place. In a desperate attempt to catch Tai on Lap 8, Champagne pitted for just 60 seconds, sprinting back out on course, just 10 minutes behind Tai. However, it wasn’t enough to push Tai off the 1st place podium. Tai completed her 40 miles in just over 8 hours. Champagne’s 8:17 finish for 40 miles secured her $2,000 prize and 2nd place. In similar fashion to the men’s heat, the 3rd place spot was up for grabs between Sullivan and Pezzuti on the last lap. Sullivan had a 2-minute lead over Pezzuti leaving the quick pit on Lap 7, as Pezzuti arrived into the pit for a final pep talk and refuel by her pit crew. In a dramatic finish, Sullivan staved off Pezzuti’s last attempt, crossing the finish line for a 7th time at 8:04am for 3rd place.  Pezzuti’s 8:14am finish was good for 4th place and 35 miles.

Top 5 — Women:

1. Allison Tai

2. Anne Champagne

3. Kelly Sullivan

4. Kera Pezzuti

5. Deanna Brasz

America’s Toughest Mudder Midwest took place in Michigan on June 2, 2018, and just ICYMI, here’s how the 8-hour obstacle cource race went down:

Check out the full race results—and see the top 10 male and female finishers below:

Top 10 – Men

The second big race in the Tougher Mudder Championship Series (5 events throughout the year – Philly, Whistler, London, Chicago, Seattle) kicked off on Saturday, June 16th at Whistler Olympic Park.  The weather matched the spectacular scenery that this venue delivers, crisp and cool as competitors launched from the start line with steep elevation gains that warmed up your screaming quads quickly.

Men’s Race

To ensure a cleaner, and more competitive, race in 2018 the men’s only heat took off at 7:45am. “From the second they were released, these guys shot up the first climb like rockets,” said Johnny Little, TMHQ Race Director. “The terrain of the course was mixed with gravel trails to mud bogs to dirt tracks, so mindful footing was key.” It was no surprise that pro-team member and Canada’s own, Ryan Atkins was part of the 3-man breakaway after a few kilometers into the course. “These three—Ryan Atkins, Kristopher Swanson and Shaun Stephens-Whale—appeared to be attached at the hip throughout the majority of the course. Never more than a minute apart,” Little recalled. The three cleared through obstacles, brush, tremendous inclines and descents and finally detached from one another at the final climb. Throughout the event intense climbing obstacles, Cliffhanger and Devil’s Beard, challenged everyone who attempted it. Coming into Happy Ending, Ryan Atkins was just 25 seconds ahead of Kristopher Swanson. Rounding out the podium was Shaun Stephens-Whale. Less than a minute separated our Top 3 Males.

Ryan Atkins – 1:13:12

Kristopher Swanson – 1:13:37

Shaun Stephens-Whale – 1:14:09

Women’s Race

Staring 15 minutes after the male heat took off, the female competitors followed suit, shooting up the first climb all together. A few familiar faces reached the apex first: Pro team members Lindsay Webster (Atkins) and Allison Tai. “They quickly broke away early from the main pack,” said Little. Both knowing that the higher prize purse (Championship Series) and country pride was on the line.  Prizing for our Championship Series is as follows: $2500 for First Place, $1000 for Second Place and $500 for Third Place Male and Female winners. At the midway point of the race, the Canadian female duo expanded their lead and our 3rd female, Michelle Ford, was creating space between herself and the rest of the ladies out on course.Eventually, Lindsay pulled further away from Allison and took home the win, setting the scene for a family photo-op atop the podium with her husband, Ryan Atkins.

Lindsay Webster – 1:32:06

Allison Tai – 1:37:11

Michelle Ford – 1:49:42

Next Tougher Mudder Championship Series race: Tougher Mudder London North, 7/7.

Well folks, it’s officially a wrap on the Tough Mudder X 2018 season. The World Championship event went down in Richmond, Virginia on June 8th, and saw some of the best athletes in the world come out to compete in what truly turned out to be the toughest mile on the planet. And if you didn’t get to see the epic event IRL, don’t worry—tune in to CBS at 1:00pm on July 14, 21, and 28 to see watch how it all unfolded.

On the men’s side, perennial champion Hunter McIntyre backed up his braggadoccio leading up to the event with a dominating performance, leaving no doubt that he is the man to beat in this new sport going into next year. Hunter pulled away from the pack early on with a blistering pace on the run and managed to beat a strong competitive field that included Jacob Heppner, Dakota Rager, Patrick Vellner, and Isaiah Vidal. In the race for second place, top challenger Isaiah Vidal was nipping at Hunter’s heels all the way to the final obstacle, at which point the cumulative effect of the day’s effort may finally have taken its toll. Vidal stalled out while racing Jacob Heppner on the final rope climb just a few hundred feet from the finish, allowing for the pack of athletes just behind to pass him in the final stretch. While heartbreaking for Vidal, it was an inspiring effort and one that no one present will soon forget.

On the women’s side, newcomer Emma Chapman surprised the field with a calm and steady performance that landed her atop the podium, upsetting reigning champion Corinna Coffin and a stacked field of female competitors. Carolyne Prevost, who had posted the fastest time in the previous round and went into the final as a potential favorite to win, saw her hopes dashed halfway through the course when she fell from Kong – Infinity while in the lead, and was passed by much of the field while going back to complete the obstacle. With the fastest time through both workout zones, Chapman cruised to victory and a $25,000 payday, followed by Corinna Coffin in 2nd and Cassidy Lance-Mcwherter in 3rd. For many of the female competitors, including Cassidy Lance-Mcwherter, this was their first obstacle course race. Looking forward to the 2019 Tough Mudder X season, we expect to see some amazing competition on the female side as Coffin looks to regain her spot atop the podium.

Mudder Nation, we’re psyched—really psyched—to announce that the first-ever Tough Mudder Bootcamp is now open in Burlington, MA.

What’s Tough Mudder Bootcamp? Glad you asked. Tough Mudder Bootcamp is a series of 45-minute high-intensity team training (HITT) classes designed to challenge and train all fitness levels. Each of the six unique classes (which are priced as low as $10, thankyouverymuch) are built around four fitness pillars—strength, power, agility, and endurance—and, like Tough Mudder events, are teamwork-based. The workouts change every day, and are seriously scalable to any fitness level.

“I am thrilled that Burlington will be home to the founding Tough Mudder Bootcamp and be on the cutting edge of this new fitness studio offering. We are eager to help so many in our community reach their fitness goals – no matter their athletic ability,” said Tough Mudder Bootcamp Burlington Owner, Henry Pott. “Tough Mudder Bootcamp is all about uniting Mudders while providing a supportive environment to newest members. This dynamic fitness challenge will be the buzz of the community.”

In fact, Tough Mudder Bootcamp is already generating rave reviews online:

“I wasn’t looking to join another gym, but this place is a 5 minute walk from my office, and the format and efficiency of the workouts are fantastic! The teamwork aspect is motivating and fun, the trainers are great, and you get a very efficient 45 minute workout each time. I am always looking forward to my next class!”

In case you missed the June 2nd grand opening of the flagship workout studio in Burlington’s Crossroads Plaza, here’s how it all went down:

10 A.M.

The doors opened—and early-bird guests got a chance to try Tough Mudder’s world-class obstacle, Human Hamster Wheel, which tests upper body strength as athletes attempt to ring the bell on top of a giant wheel. The first 200 lucky Mudders got free swag for their efforts. And all attendees walked away with a free Tough Mudder 5K ticket just for showing up.

11 A.M. + 1 P.M. & 3 P.M.

Free, full 45-minute workout classes, led by Tough Mudder Bootcamp Creative Director Eric “ERock” Botsford, were offered throughout the day.

12 P.M.

Our Mudder VIPs—including Tough Mudder Bootcamp President Cathrin Bowtell, Tough Mudder CEO/Founder Will Dean, and Burlington Bootcamp Franchise Owner Henry Pott—cut the ribbon.

4 P.M.

The grand opening event concluded, and giveaways were distributed. Oh, and did we mention there was live entertainment and free food and drink? Yeah, you’re sorry you missed it, aren’t you?

Well, we’ve got good news for those of you who couldn’t make it: You can still register for a free trial membership by emailing [email protected] through Friday, June 8, 2018.
