NEW YORK, NY/BURBANK, CA(January 19, 2017) - The CW Network and Tough Mudder Inc., the leading active lifestyle brand, will debut a new multi-platform six-part series, TOUGH MUDDER: THE CHALLENGE WITHIN, Thursday, February 2 on CW Seed, The CW's digital network.

The one-hour broadcast finale of TOUGH MUDDER: THE CHALLENGE WITHIN on The CW Network will chronicle the group's journey as they come together to accomplish completing a Tough Mudder. Deemed as "probably the toughest event on the planet," Tough Mudder tests teamwork skills and pushes one's physical abilities and mental grit.
