After surviving the Tough Mudder events in the UK, select participants with an "unstoppable spirit" will be able to clean off by taking a dip in a branded hot tub design. In the spirit of the extreme event, the hot tub takes the shape of a gigantic volcano, advertising Danone Waters' Volvic brand.
The volcanic hot tub is located near the Everest course obstacle, so that scouts will be able to call out participants who are worthy of washing off after completing the grueling obstacle course.
Since Tough Mudder is an event that doesn't give out prizes in the same way that traditional marathons do, getting a bottle of mineral water is both a gratifying refreshment and prize post-event.
