Although Tough Guy is considered as the fiercest competition in the world, thousands of challengers (men and women) around the world started the endurance race, with hundreds dropping out along the way due to exhaustion or injury - broken bones, dislocations, and over 600 cases of hypothermia. The course takes racers through 21 obstacles - through mud, freezing water, across ropes and burning terrain.

Here are impressive images in this race.
