Battlefrog was a short-lived but extremely popular race series from 2014-2016. For a brief period in 2016 they were the third largest OCR company behind Spartan Race and Tough Mudder, until they suddenly closed up shop overnight.
From the time they closed, a running joke in the OCR industry has been "Do you think Battlefrog is coming back?" Finally, the answer is yes.
Garfield Griffiths is a long-time and well-respected member of the OCR industry. He has worked with The CrossFit Games, Spartan Race, Savage Race, OCRWC and the first incarnation of Battlefrog. He is the new Chief Operation Officer of Battlefrog. He joined the show to talk about what Battlefrog did right in the past, mistakes they made, and why Battlefrog 2.0 is set up for long-term success.

Rea Kolbl won the sprint lap at her first WTM in 2017. Then she kept going and won the whole race. That had never been done before and has never been done since. On her way to winning the race in 2017 she tied the women's record set by Amelia Boone of 90 miles in a single WTM.
After winning it all in Vegas in 2017 she defended her title in Atlanta in 2018. She and Boone are the only back-to-back women's champions of World's Toughest Mudder.
Rea joins us to talk about her campaign with Ultimate Direction called "Run Your Own Race" and what that means to her. Also, we haven't had her on the show in a long time and we missed her.

We recapped the first (and hopefully only) virtual World's Toughest Mudder with Kim De Voss, Jason Dupree, Anna Landry, and Carlo Piscitello.
Kim, Jason, and Anna all ran World's Toughest Mudder: Lockdown Edition running 50, 55, and 50 miles. Carlo was part of the 24-hour TMHQ Zoom Pit crew keeping runners and pit crew informed and entertained for the duration of the race.
They talk about the race, their favorite parts, their least favorite parts, and whether they would ever do it again. (Spoiler: Yeah, if they *HAD* to.)

In addition, each of the three weeks will have "Bonus" Challenges. There will be four challenges each week and you get to pick the two you would like to do.

Kyle McLaughlin went from being the President of Tough Mudder to just another guy like you and me to President of Tough Mudder in about six months.
Kyle has worked closely with Joe De Sena and Spartan to lead Tough Mudder through bankruptcy and the acquisition of Tough Mudder by Spartan. Without Spartan, and without Kyle McLaughlin, it is our opinion that Tough Mudder as we know it would no longer exist.
We are happy to welcome back to the show Kyle McLaughlin.
