TRUCKEE, Calif. – April 25, 2013 – Tough Mudder, the premier adventure challenge series in the world, will return to Northstar California Resort in North Lake Tahoe July 13 & 14 and September 28 & 29, 2013. Tough Mudder events are 10+ mile obstacle courses designed by British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit and camaraderie. Tough Mudder’s innovative courses have attracted 750,000 inspiring participants worldwide to date; through Tough Mudder, these participants have raised more than $5 million for the Wounded Warrior Project.
 
“We’re thrilled to welcome Tough Mudder and its participants back to Northstar this summer and fall. It was incredible witnessing the determination and drive of those who participated last year, and I can only imagine what obstacles the course will feature this season at Northstar,” said Bill Rock, chief operating officer at Northstar. “One of the most impactful parts of the event is the pep talk given as each wave of participants gets ready to head out onto the course. Tough Mudder’s support of the Wounded Warrior Project is an incredible reminder of the sacrifice our military gives on behalf of our country every day.”
