Are You A Thriver Or Survivor?

Thrive or Survive Hero

We’ve done the (un)scientific science over the years and deduced that there is two types of Mudders. Are you a thriver or survivor?

This season, we’re asking the question, which one are you?

Take a look the Mudders below to see which side they’d planted their flag. Do you agree with them?

We’re not convinced by these Mudders yet.

We saw and heard some of these ‘Thrivers’ screaming all kinds of swears at Electroshock Therapy and Arctic Enema. We need to see them prove it again.

Survivors

Honesty is the best policy and these Mudders got through their day, just about.

Keep your chin up and you’ll get it next time. You’re only beaten if you quit the challenge.

How To Get Involved

If you have taken part in a Tough Mudder and want to declare to the world which type of Mudder you are, here’s your call to action. Simply, head over to our Instagram (Tough Mudder Europe) and use the hashtag #TMThrived or #TMSurvived in your post-Tough Mudder pics. Be honest. We’ll be reviewing them and reposting them. Are you a thriver or survivor?

Got an event upcoming? You know what to do. We’ll be keeping a lookout.

State Your Claim

Want to find out for yourself which type of Mudder you are. There’s no Buzzfeed quiz for it. Only one way to find out, get your feet in the mud. Book your ticket now.
