Tough Mudder isn’t just a challenge of physical prowess, it’s a test to face your fears. Since launching, the incredibly popular team-oriented race has become an almost $100 million USD business, known for pitting participants against 10-12 miles of mud, barbed wire, ice cold water, electric shocks and more. This month the company is inviting fans to sketch out their “dream” obstacle course, with a winning design to be chosen from 10 finalists via social media. “People [often] request bugs or spiders or bees being involved,” says senior director of product Nolan Kombol.

Tough Mudder will be accepting obstacle design submissions online until July 20. The winner will receive a free trip for two to NYC to meet the Tough Mudder team, with a chance to see the design come to life for 2017.

What would you include in your obstacle course?
