HOW IT WORKS
The Innovation Lab is your opportunity to make the best obstacle course in the world even better – one incredible obstacle idea at a time. Here’s how to jump on in:
- Post an image and description of your idea on Instagram, including the hashtag #tminnovationlab
- Generate support for your concept by getting as many ‘likes’ as possible.
- TMHQ will review the most liked concepts monthly, looking for ideas that can be feasibly constructed while delivering an incredible experience.
- Selected concepts will be passed to beta testing, where we’ll build and test them with live participants.
- Exemplary concepts that succeed in beta testing will have the chance to be added to the permanent Tough Mudder obstacle menu.
