The World’s Toughest Mudder Wild Card has been confirmed and we’re here to tell you allllll about it. We’ve got all the A’s for your Q’s right here.

WHAT IS THE WORLD’S TOUGHEST MUDDER WILD CARD?

World’s Toughest Mudder is the most extreme, imposing, pulse-pounding, heart-stopping 24-hour obstacle course challenge on the planet.

This year, we’re giving you a taste of the toughest of all Tough Mudders all season long. That’s right, World’s Toughest Mudder obstacles will hit the road at events across the country throughout 2023. From coast to coast, we’ll sprinkle our most intense obstacles to spice up events across the U.S. and the U.K.

The World’s Toughest Mudder Wild Card is your chance to test yourself against top-level Tough Mudder obstacles. The obstacles traditionally reserved for World’s Toughest Mudder are the best of the best, the toughest of tough. But don’t take this lightly, some people might call this their own personal version of hell. Other might call it a taste of heaven.

When you arrive to the venue on event day, the location of the wild card obstacle will be revealed on the course map. This will be made clear through the path of the course.

In some cases we might tease the wild card ahead of time, but in others you might not know what the wild card obstacle is until you arrive on course – just the way we want it.

HOW WILL IT IMPACT TOUGH MUDDERS IN THE U.S.?

Not every event will be lucky enough to host a World’s Toughest Mudder obstacle.

That said, an event near you could be hosting the wild card, or it may not – that’s the half the fun of the wild card, the spontaneity.

The inclusion of a wild card obstacle will not impact price, timing or anything other factor of a traditional Tough Mudder. You don’t need to do anything apart from brace yourself for the unknown.

WHAT ABOUT WORLD’S TOUGHEST MUDDER 2023?

Do you think you’re tough enough to keep up with the toughest? The craziest? The muddiest? The most elite athletes in the OCR space? Prove it.

The World’s Toughest Mudder Wild Card aspires to give mudders a taste for what the top level is like. But be careful, that taste might just turn into a full blown appetite.
