Mud Run Wars

*****

The sport of obstacle racing has been recently introduced to the world, by new entrepreneurs creating races that test the limits of the human body and mind.  This article talks about three of such companies, Tough Mudder, Spartan Race, and Warrior Dash.  It focuses on the success these three companies have attained after only a few years.  "The obstacle course craze is taking over America.  This year some 1.5 million people will enter an event."  The article talks about how the companies got started.  What challenges did they go through in the creation of the races?  Questions like this are answered frequently in the article, and it is a great read for those interested in researching about the new sport and it's origins.

This article inspired me to sign up for a race this summer, and it inspired me to get more active and do something better with myself.  I learned that nothing can be gained without taking action, and it made me change my behaviour to a more lively, active lifestyle.
