Casting Directors and Producers for MTV’s Made is currently seeking those interested in completing a Tough Mudder Challenge.
For those that do not know, Tough Mudder is an endurance event series in which participants attempt 10–12 mile long military-style obstacle courses. Designed by British Special Forces to test mental as well as physical strength, obstacles often play off of common human fears, such as fire, water, and heights. The organizers encourage teamwork, and many obstacles are purposefully designed so as to be very difficult to complete alone. The events are untimed, but on average only 78% of entrants successfully complete the course.
If you are interested in being a part of MTV’s Made see the casting call information below:
