Event Overview
A New Breed of 5K
We’re bringing the party, and the after-party to La la land in 2020. Tough Mudder 5K Los Angeles is popping off just an hour outside the city at Glen Helen Raceway. All the scenic vistas and rolling hills on this epic course prove the left coast is definitely the best coast. No headshots, no auditions, just a muddy, obstacle packed red carpet bash for you and your crew to crush.
3 Miles, 13 Iconic Tough Mudder Obstacles
Tough Mudder Los Angeles 5K is 3 miles of best-in-class obstacles, designed for intense teamwork and fun. None does it better than our most iconic obstacle, Everest 2.0, a 13' quarter pipe with a curved top that requires real teamwork to conquer. Bust through the finish line and the party keeps going. Grab a frosty cold beer, listen to music, hang with your new best friends from course, and soak in that sweet first taste of Tough Mudder
