Tough Mudder!

ABOUT

Designed by British Special Forces, Beaver Creek welcomes Tough Mudder for the second year as arguably the toughest mud run out there and to be a true test of all-around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. Truly, not everyone will complete the course, but those who do will be welcomed across the finish line with a free beer and entrance to the Dos Equis Post Party where teams can recount the challenges of the course as they enjoy live music, food and drinks.
