This edition of the Obstacle Series features an obstacle so notoriously feared, that is it the most skipped challenge at any Tough Mudder event worldwide. The crowd love standing around watching people attempt this obstacle, and it always appears right before the finish line. You can hear the music blaring at the end of the 20km you've almost finished running, and you know that there is only one more obstacle left to overcome. You rack your brain trying to remember what the only challenge is left that you haven't completed. Then it hits you, just as you round the corner. You finally realise that the screaming you can hear isn't the crowd going wild for the Mudders crossing the finish line - it is actually coming from the Mudders. Mudders running through the 10,000 volt wires in the Electro Shock Therapy obstacle. How fun.
Obstacle: Electroshock Therapy
Objective: To run through 20ish metres of live electric wires, trying not to get shocked too much, while jumping over small knee height hay bales.
Difficulty: Physical - 3/10 | Mental - 11/10
This is the most hated obstacle out of all the 25+ Tough Mudder obstacles available. It appears at every single Mudder event worldwide, seemingly always just before the finish line, as if running the last 19.5km
