In your area in 2012!!  Tough Mudder is not your average lame-ass mud run or spirit-crushing ‘endurance’ road race. Our 10-12 mile obstacle courses are designed by British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. Forget finish times. Simply completing a Tough Mudder is a badge of honor. Tough Mudder has raised over one million dollars for the Wounded Warrior Project. Click here for more details

Testimonials

Dave LaPlante –

Hi Liberty, the Valley Trail Rider's Father's Day Enduro was held as the name says on Father's Day.   The race was near Gladwin, MI and we covered over 50 miles of tough off-road terrain consisting of a lot of boggy, muddy sections.  We race thru the woods on singletrack trails mostly only handlebar wide.  We even had to race thru and jump out of a barn!  I finished 8th in my class against other riders much younger than myself.  I felt great all day on the bike and did not get tired because of the training we have been doing with the kettlebells.  I compete in 6-8 events like this all summer long.  My next race is July 17th near Lake City, MI and there will be 500 riders competing in an 80 mile event.  I do this in conjuction with several longer mountain bike races as well, like Ore to Shore and ICEMAN.  Kettlebell Cross Training has helped me build Upper Body Strength and Endurance so I can dominate in these races....  Thanks!!
