004: Nolan Kombol and Eli Hutchison of TMHQ: Toughest Mudder Season Preview - a podcast by Will Hicks

Nolan Kombol and Eli Hutchison join us to talk Tough Mudder 5k, Tougher Mudder, and Toughest Mudder. Nolan and Eli are the heads of the product development team at TMHQ. If you enjoyed WTM last year, you have Nolan and Eli to thank for a lot of it.

TONS of new information in this episode, but here's some highlights:

Tougher Mudder will be at (almost) every Tough Mudder in 2017, including several international locations.

Tougher Mudder will require 100% Obstacle Completion. 

Tougher, Toughest, and World's Toughest form a three race Competitive series of Tough Mudders. They didn't say it specifically, but TM 5k, TM Half, and the regular Tough Mudder have formed a three race non-competitive series of Tough Mudder's.

There will be an online system for tracking your cumulative milage across Tougher Mudder, Toughest Mudder, and World's Toughest Mudder.

The "$100,000 for 100 Miles" team prize at WTM has been split into a $50,000 male prize and a $50,000 female prize. To qualify to win it you must be an Elite Contender going into WTM and then win WTM with at least 110 miles as a male or 100 miles as a female.

Lots of other information, including the Tough Mudder policy on podium T-shirts.
