Each year more than 4,000 people climb to the top of John Hancock Center to raise funds for lung disease research, advocacy and education. You can choose from two climbing categories--full climb (94 floors) or half climb (52 floors). This will be the leg workout of a lifetime! There is also an amazing post race party. This promises to be a good time for a great cause!

This is an ultra race...the course features soft dirt trails, pine needle paths, and fire roads on 12.5 and 6.1 mile loops through the piney woods. The 20 K runners do the long loop and are finished. The 50K runners run the big loop twice, and finish on the small loop. The 50M runners do the big loop three times and the small loop twice. Holy moly! The scenery is amazing and you loop past the start line a few times where you can leave dry socks, a change of shoes, or snacks.

The name pretty much describes these race events...The Tough Mudder theme is more about teamwork rather the individual victory. Participants are not timed and ranked, and the general atmosphere of solidarity in a Tough Mudder event reflects this intention. This doesn't mean that the 10-plus miles of freezing water, electrical wires, and monkey bars aren't brutal. However, the efforts of working together tend to help you forget about the pure torture you might endure...but, hey, it's fun!! There are events all over the country...you are bound to find one close by!
