Have absolutely no idea how this cropped up on my homepage but what a documentary it was! Absolutely loved Kris' attitude and love that she both won / made history. Noticed that on every obstacle showed, she stopped to help those behind too - got a new fan in me! Amazing job ladies!
So good of a movie. Couldn't help but notice how Kris always looked back for someone to help before leaving the obstacle. So incredible. Great story that was well told. Nice work to all.
Glad to see Kris win. She didn't put down others (whether they be other WTM people or other sports), she helped other competitors despite her desire to win, and she was humble in victory. What an inspiration!
This amazing video goes to show that a huge budget isn’t needed to promote the world of obstacle course racing. Thanks orm for continuing to highlight ocr!!!
Kris is amazing. Not only 100 miles but helping out everyone. Hannah was also amazing to run with. Good video. Clinton made me crack up. Thank you for producing.
These are some tough women! Thank you for highlighting some of the females (not that the guys weren’t great also!). These 3 accomplished something incredible and have the potential to inspire so many! Hoping your video has a far reach! Great work on this documentary 🙌🏻
More of these please. Watched 4x already… Such great movie! The scene with uber-Sweetheart Kris Rugloski lifting the 🇺🇸 to the finish line to cap that 100 miles, is goosebumps moment 🙌💪🏼🔥
This gives a really good overview of what it’s like to run WTM. Even an athlete amazing as Katie can have a bad race (by her expectation maybe, definitely not by any normal standard) Kris is truly amazing- at one point I saw her back under the cargo net and I thought she was disoriented- but she was just actually helping other mudders clear the obstacle. Truly shows you what tough mudder is all about. Hanna’s journey was great to follow- she is amazing. Thank you Matt and team for the very well produced doc and can you now please do another one featuring the men?? 😂❤
Damn, the one year I miss WTM since 2016 and it's so big that a documentary gets made about it! Jeff did an excellent job putting the story together in a way that both an experienced OCR participant like myself and someone less so like my grandfather can enjoy!
This hit me right I. The feels! Plus I had to wrap up in a blanket to watch because I remember how cold it was. Such a wonderful community! Thank you WTM for giving me some of the best memories of my 66 years on this earth!
Great Job MBD and Jeff!! I think Hannah made me cry at the end 😢 So awesome running with Kris and Hannah this year! Both are so encouraging to others! My favorite race of the year!!
@@jennyo2705as a top 3 finisher, what advice would you give to someone who has never completed in one of these races if they want to start training to participate? I've got experience running marathons but none in something like this event
@@ewoknips5154 I'm so sorry that I'm just now seeing this! I would first say maybe try a short distance Tough Mudder to see if you like it. In regard to WTM, gosh there is so much - run. Run a lot. Haha! It's primarily endurance. Obstacle efficiency is helpful but endurance is more important. Also learn how to eat while you move, it's an eating game as much as it is a moving game. Above all of that, it's a mental game. There will be moments (maybe most of the entire race) that are miserable but you have to make the choice to keep going, to make each foot take another step. I went into it thinking "Okay Jenny, you just aren't sleeping tonight. We're going to run until tomorrow. We'll run until it's over and see what happens". Stopping wasn't an option. I hope some of that helps!!
The story in this is very well put together -I'm sure no easy task with the hours and hours of footage - and looks great as well. I think you have captured the WTM spirit and the overall WTM experience in this film. Well done MBD and Jeff - keep up the great work.
Best OCR Documentary EVER! Great balance between 3 ladies’ stories, pit crew, racing tips, and the vibe of WTM. Hope To see a men’s version in the future. I am doing Toughest in Pittsburgh in 2023 because of Matt and Jeff and my desire to experience a nighttime OCR….hopefully it won’t be this cold but I will be prepared due to Matt’s awesome podcast interview with a variety of athletes. Thanks
Wow, this was awesome. Fun to watch the story line develop between these highlighted athletes and really captured what makes World’s Toughest Mudder so unique and challenging over a standard Ultra Run.
🧡🖤🧡🖤 fantastic work Matt and Jeff- a good look into what ultra OCR and WTM demands- the athleticism/mental grit/gear prep/pit crew. Sometimes it all comes together and sometimes it all falls apart
I’ve done spartan ultra races a few times; it always amazes how when I feel at worst running the race, I feel the most alive… you can go much farther than you think. Way to go !
Love this! Over the moon to see this amazing battle between the women documented. Also love there style; something very new for OCR media, love how it brings the reality of how hard and hellish it is to life without romanticising it. These athletes go through huge battles and you’ve brought this across brilliantly. Well done 👏🏻
Loved this! It is a privilege getting to see the amazing effort these athletes put into WTM. Witnessing the first female hit 100 miles made my heart happy. Can't wait to see what 2023 brings 🧡
Oh, and by the way, if you zoom out on Dublin Walls, you can see the spot where I dropped a MASSIVE deuce on Sunday morning. I was ready to burst out of my wetsuit
This is AMAZING! I've been meaning to watch it since it was posted and it's even better than I expected. So well done. Really compelling storytelling and production. It simultaneously makes me want to sign up tomorrow and avoid it forever.
Such a great video! I love watching recaps like this and it’s so great to get more insight into some of the top athletes and how they approach the race. I think this also does a great job of showing the course for others who are interested and pit crew who maybe didn’t get a chance to see a lot of the course.
@@Obstacleracingmedia you’re not wrong, but my particular disability and medical devices definitely rules it out at this time sadly. Maybe someday, with a lot of support and help!
Wonderful video, thanks for putting that together. I’m guess there isn’t another one coming out covering the men’s race, would love to see coverage of that competition.
This is a must watch. Not only is it entertaining especially if you don’t know the outcome of the race but it tells the stories of the 3 women they focus on (Kris, Katie & Hannah) so well. It also really puts into perspective how difficult this race is when someone of the top athletes are quitting and covered up in 15 blankets to get warm, and how frustrating/humbling it can be when you can climb a freakin’ 4 ft hay bale cause you’re 18 hours in 😂 If you think you’ll ever try this race, you won’t regret watching this. They should just show it at next year’s briefing tbh 😂 I felt that bitter cold I felt on the night of November 12 all over again just watching 😅
I have to say the WTM video was fantastic and more importantly the “Clinton comments and philosophy” were pure genius. It was the icing on top of the production quality 👍 🏆
Shawn the announcer if I’m not mistaken was the guy at my 5k tough mudder in Cali in April. He had a f*ck cancer patch and told us what his friend said to him before he passed away from cancer. Shawn said to us, ”What was the last time you did something”. I really can’t remember if those were exact words but it was encouraging.
I'm thinking the Barkley's might disagree with this. In 36 years it has only been completed 18 times by 15 people. Only 1 woman in a decade has completed the fun run (60 miles).
The elevation gains in the Barkley are insane. Unmarked course getting shredded by the brush…I agree with you. I’m sure you’ve watched “where dreams go to die”.
This course is pancake flat. Every hundred I’ve done has had 15k-28k feet of climb and descending. 5 mile loops lol always in a safe place not 40 miles into rugged wilderness.
What happens if they don't complete an obstacle? Do they have a penalty or do they have to keep trying until completed? I'm into obstacle courses but these people are incredible. The distance, time, sleep deprivation, WEATHER and OBSTACLES. Insanely admirable
Actual question So I'm new to WTM and I thought they only had 24h to run. So from noon one day to noon the next. Kris was at 95 miles at around 11:47, and I know she completed the 100 miles in general, but does it not matter that she didn't get all 100 within the 24 hours? I looked to see if anyone else asked this question in the comments, I hope someone can help me understand!
Hi Judilynn. The race can be slightly longer than 24 hours. The rules have changed slightly over the years. For this particular event, you needed to begin your last lap by Noon, and end your last lap by 1:30PM. If you are mid-lap, you do not get any partial credit. She did in fact start and finish within those parameters. A bit too much to explain in the video, so there you go. :)
I don't think you can call this the hardest 100 mile race when the Barkley Marathons are a thing and have had 15 finishes in its entire history. No woman has finished that race and 1 guy has finished it 3 times but never back to back. There are some years where no one wins it and the first person to complete it did so in 1995 or 1996 and was the only person to complete it that year. It is a completely natural course no man made obstacles and is at the very limity of what a human being can actually do.
It’s a personal thing … not saying right or wrong or good or bad … but I cannot stand athletes that have to have all these motivational sayings, proverbs, catch phrases …just get the “xxxx” out there and get it done ….. no phrases … just get out there
Have absolutely no idea how this cropped up on my homepage but what a documentary it was! Absolutely loved Kris' attitude and love that she both won / made history. Noticed that on every obstacle showed, she stopped to help those behind too - got a new fan in me! Amazing job ladies!

Goofus runs off after an obstacle, without helping other racers.
Gallant pauses, and assists other runners, before moving quickly through the course.
Here from WTF. Great conversation.
Congrats! You may be the first one from WTF!

Great video! Agree with what others said - speaks volumes when the winner herself took time to help others on the course. Bravo to Kris.

Stop making it look so good.
I may have to do it again. I’ve retired twice but maybe one more time?
I even made the cut, twice.
One when I am stood up doing nothing and the other falling in.
Sounds about right.
Outstanding sir, this is a must watch. Share with your friends and Family so they can start to get why we do this.
Absolutely love this! It was such an amazing event this year. This video did a great job encompassing it all. ❤️

@@johnrivers9393 You do not know the resolve of Matt Kemp. Most are calling him the next John Kelly.

ZING!
That was insane amazing fitness. I can run 100 milers but this is the next level well done all
Agreed. Any 100 mile is rough. Doing it soaking wet, cold, and using your entire body to do obstacles is a different kind of beat down. :)
Wow!! This is just awesome 😮
Thank you so much!
Really enjoyed this doc. Thank you
Our pleasure!
Excellent ❤ job.

25:15 that guy know words 🫡
All the feels! 🥶🌬️🔥
Great video!
Great. I did 30 miles in two days at the weekend because I have a season ticket and skipped a few obstacles. 100 miles is insane.
I have 6 hours left, no I have like 9 hours, no like 11 more hours😂😂😂. Legend has it Kris still thinks she has time remaining.

@Obstacle Racing Media no that's perfect! I really appreciate the response, it makes total sense!
Barkley Marathons would appreciation your consideration as hardest 100 mile race. In its 25-year history only 15 people have completed it.
Very strong competitors and a well made documentary. It's not close to the hardest or most challenging 100 mile race, however.
The Barkley challenge puts this lil race to shame. Definitely not the hardest 100 mile race🙄
If you’re wanting to search for books in a race then yeah OCR isn’t for you
Have you attempted this lil race?
As a distance runner, i have no idea how they dont get extremely bad chaffing wearing compression shorts getting in and out of the water constantly.
Body glide. Squirrels nut butter and Boudreaux's butt paste...and lots of it
Luuuuuube!
Yoooooo where’s my boy DJs 1st place run? 🎉🎉❤
Why anyone would bet against K Rug is beyond me
Toughest 100 mile race? Gary Robbins and The Barkley Marathons has entered the chat.
we need goggins in this race
Good movie!
But this is definitely not the toughest 100 miler out there. Races like 'Barkley Marathons' are in another league of brutality.
Tuff mudders are nowhere near as hard as the old tuff guy race down in Wolverhampton
I don't think you can call this the hardest 100 mile race when the Barkley Marathons are a thing and have had 15 finishes in its entire history.

It is a completely natural course no man made obstacles and is at the very limity of what a human being can actually do.
I bet everyone was peeing in that pool
and worse...guaranteed.
Them women have higher test than me
Such a weird gimmick/vibe. The fact that so many people even attempt this kind of refutes the “worlds toughest” moniker huh?
The winners should apply to the Barkley if they want a tough challenge.
so the more exclusive a race, the tougher it is?
@@alexfloeckher5025 Not always, but in the case of the Barkley I think it’s true.
Definitely fake title. Nothing more than a gimic race with distance. But not nearly the toughest.
Totes a gimick!
No woman has ever been able to complete the Barkley Marathons (100 mile race), this has NOTHING on that.
It’s a personal thing … not saying right or wrong or good or bad … but I cannot stand athletes that have to have all these motivational sayings, proverbs, catch phrases …just get the “xxxx” out there and get it done ….. no phrases … just get out there
Pathetic sport but the blonde is gorgeous.
