The only issue I have with them is when they market their races by bashing other running events. I believe it was tough mudder that had an ad saying something about 'boring old marathons' or something to that effect.





Advertising 101: play on insecurities. Obviously we are annoyed by them claiming to be "tougher" than running races, but serious runners aren't the target market. They appeal to people who have never taken running too seriously or don't think they can or have the desire to train for a real running race. Maybe they have tried and lost to a bunch of skinny runners. These obstacle courses give them something to excel at. Nothing wrong with that. Don't let it get to you.
