PrettyGreen Founder & CEO Mark Stringer said, “As an agency we’ve always been a fan of the Tough Mudder brand and its ethos around teamwork and resilience. With the 2019 season just around the corner, we’re excited to get stuck in and continue to spread the legacy of Tough Mudder with existing fans and lead the charge in introducing it to a whole new fanbase too.”
Nikki Emmans, VP of marketing, Tough Mudder, “With the inception of Tough Mudder 5K in 2018, we’re excited for the shorter city-based events to reach new levels in 2019 with the help of PrettyGreen, enticing a whole new group of Mudders from all backgrounds and varying fitness levels to take part.”
