YOUR OFFICIAL INVITATION TO START SUMMER DIRTY

The sun finally decided to show up and suddenly everyone thinks a light jog in the park is a personality trait. It isn’t. While the rest of the world is busy buying grills and pretending they enjoy lukewarm beer, we’re inviting you to do something that actually deserves the celebration.

Inside this edition, we’re breaking down why mud is cheaper than therapy (especially with code EARN25 for 25% off), showing you three obstacles currently planning your ego’s funeral, and giving you a 24-hour head start before we kick summer off properly. Scroll down if you’re ready to stop being sensible.

GET DIRTY

CHEAPER THAN THERAPY.

Your screen time is peaking and your brain feels like a browser tab frozen since Tuesday. Forget the mindfulness apps you delete after three days; Tough Mudder is the hard reset your nervous system is actually screaming for. It is remarkably difficult to obsess over emails when your primary concern is keeping your shoes on in a mile of thick mud. Helping a stranger over a 10-foot wall proves your problems aren't so big. Find the 3 ways a muddy reset is cheaper than therapy below.

RESET YOUR BRAIN

FOCUSED VISION. GRITTY SOUL. NO LIMITS.

To celebrate Military Appreciation Month, we are turning the dial up. Military members, Veterans, and First Responders can now unlock 30% off through GOVX. That is a 5% boost over our usual service discount, but it only lasts through May. If you’ve spent your life serving others, it’s time to let a stranger return the favour at the bottom of Everest. Verify your eligibility and claim your Military Month upgrade now.

THESE OBSTACLES WILL TEST YOUR SOUL

WILL SHE DO IT?

Spoiler alert: gravity says no. We’re celebrating the best fails and teamwork moments that prove you don't need a podium to be a legend; just a total lack of shame and a very questionable grip.
