World's Toughest Mudder left the United States for the first time, and we spent the weekend in Grantham, UK at Belvoir Castle. Much to our surprise, we all got sunburned. That lines up nicely with getting frostbite in Atlanta. So there you go.

This is the first of two, and possibly three, World's Toughest Mudder 2025 wrap up episodes.

You will hear from Ian Kay, Heather Bode, Ian Floyd, Marco Caromba, Nikki Caromba, Kaytlin Ritter, Charlie Boher, Leo Brimicombe, Harvey Mitchell Divers, Josh Fiore, Liz Schlagel, Jillian Heller, Wil Chung, Joe Rucco, Kevin Gregory, AJ, Robyn Kotzsa, Grant Thompson, and Jessica Gregory
