What are the benefits of volunteering at an event?

You’ll claim your spot as an MVP  in our Mudder Volunteer Program and have a community of like minded Mudders for life! For completing your shift you’ll receive: 

• Discounted participant entry fee for a future Tough Mudder 5K or 15K event or a reimbursement for a previously purchased participant entry. All tickets may be subject to standard taxes and processing fees. Please note that taxes and fees are non refundable even with a discounted entry fee. 
  • Full Day Volunteers: 100% Discount or Reimbursement
  • Half Day Volunteers: 60% Discount or Reimbursement 

Discounts cannot be applied to Season Passes or Race Packs. Please allow two weeks for Tough Mudder to process all reimbursements. Tough Mudder is only able to reimburse tickets purchased after November 7, 2020. If a volunteer requests a reimbursement for a ticket purchased before November 7, 2020, the volunteer manager will offer a Discount Code of equal value to the reimbursement for a Future Race. Codes are valid for the year you volunteer and the following year. Only one code can be applied per ticket. 

• Discounted spectator entry fee (in lieu of participant discount) for a future Tough Mudder event.
  • Not ready to run an event yet? Use your volunteer discount for a free spectator ticket to a Tough Mudder event instead!
  • Ensure you request a spectator code at Volunteer HQ when you check out at the end of your volunteer shift
• Free MVP Volunteer T-Shirt & Baseball Hat; Sunday Full Day Only: Free MVP Bucket Hat
• Free Breakfast and/or Lunch at the Event
  • Breakfast and lunch is served for those volunteering in the morning and all day; lunch only is served for those with only an afternoon shift
• Free High Fives, Hugs & and Amazing Feelings!
• UK only: Free Volunteer Camping at select events. 

Upon checkout, you will complete our check out survey letting our team know if you would like a future discount code, a free run for the same weekend, or a reimbursement.  To reduce the amount of items being exchanged on-site and to save a couple trees, our volunteer codes will now be delivered via email the week following your event. This email will include your full or half day code, a link to our post event survey, and instructions to contact our Mudder Volunteer Team with any additional questions and concerns. If you are a Pre Event or Saturday volunteer choosing to run the same weekend, you will not receive a discount code. You will need to check in at the Volunteer Check In or Mudder Services Tent 30 minutes prior to the wave you want to run in. Our team will have your name on a list and will get you registered right there and then regardless of if that wave is sold out to the public or not
