This is mostly because of the fun and thrill of taking on gruelling obstacles and tackling tough terrain made up of thick mud and testing stretches of water. Mud runs are also a great day out for friends and colleagues and you will be sure to have lots of good stories to tell by the end of it. These type of endurance events burn lots of calories so carries many health benefits, and is not just about the finishing time but having fun with a smile on your face.
