356. World's Toughest Mudder 2023 with Chris Maltbie!

Obstacle Running Adventures

World's Toughest Mudder is coming up soon and Mike is wicked excited! If you're also excited for it then this will be a great episode for you because we have Chris Maltbie on the show to talk about the upcoming weekend!

Chris is the vice president of product for Tough Mudder/Spartan Race as well as the race director for the most epic 24 hour OCR that we all know as World's Toughest Mudder!

We discuss his background in OCR, changes to the Tough Mudder season this year and if they will affect WTM, some information about WTM including a cryptic obstacle run down, and much more!

Next episode Mike will be in Texas covering World's Toughest Mudder which should lead to enough interviews and audio for an upcoming 3 or so episodes but next week we will have an episode with Manuel Dufaux to release to buy Mike some time since there are more hours of editing needed than you can imagine for our WTM coverage!
