In preparation for this year’s World’s Toughest Mudder we had Scottish elite Grant Thompson on the show!
We talk about how he found the sport of obstacle course racing, making the switch to run age group and eventually elite, and his history at World’s Toughest Mudder! We discuss his country of Scotland, the Tartan Army takeover of Boston, and places worth checking out if you plan to make the trip to Scotland from the venue! He also gives his thoughts on the UKOCR Endurance Series, advice for those taking on WTM at Belvoir Castle, and his own goals for this year!
Be sure to follow Grant on social media, cheer him on as he passes you on the course, and follow along how he and other badasses do at this year’s best ultra OCR event!
