CINCINNATI--()--Old Spice is teaming up with Tough Mudder as the official Men’s Body Wash and Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant Partner of the rigorous obstacle course series, offering the perfect proving ground for guys to test the legendary performance of the new Old Spice Hardest Working Collection. To help guys get Tough Mudder-ready in true Old Spice fashion, Old Spice pitchman Bob Giovanni (aka actor Steven Ogg of film, television and video game fame), returns to the small screen in an enthralling, highly-informative Hardest Working Training Tips teaser. Viewers will most certainly recognize Giovanni from his popular Hardest Working Collection infomercials, “Odor Blocker and Sweat Defense” and “Dirt Destroyer”, which introduced millions to the most powerful Old Spice anti-perspirants and body washes in the world.

With a nod to the new Hardest Working Collection, Old Spice’s partnership is helping amp up the Tough Mudder course with the iconic Mud Mile 2.0 and newly-created Pop & Lock obstacles as well as presentation of post-event rinse stations and changing areas. Old Spice is so confident in the new Hardest Working Collection that thousands of Odor Blocker and Sweat Defense anti-perspirant/deodorants and Dirt Destroyer body washes will be passed out to Tough Mudders with the backing of the Old Spice 1-800-PROVE-IT money-back guarantee. Participants can also grab Old Spice shampoo and Secret Outlast Xtend Invisible Solid at all 2016 U.S. events. Visit ToughMudder.com for the list of event dates and locations.

The Obstacles

  • Mud Mile 2.0 – Lend a hand, take a hand; pay it forward, give it back – this obstacle is all about going the extra mile. With waist-deep mud pits and slippery mounds to mount, Mud Mile is a classic Mudder fan favorite.
  • Pop & Lock – Found in the Mudder Village, both participants and attendees can test their strength against the ultimate escalating pull-up bar. See if you can achieve legendary status by using a movable pull-up bar to ascend over the structure, one bar at a time.

Guys want the performance they’ve come to expect from Old Spice – anti-perspirants that protect them from odor and sweat, and body washes that clean. The new Hardest Working Collection, delivers unparalleled performance for guys who train hard and play hard, and demand more from their grooming products – the perfect antidote for the Tough Mudder’s 20-plus obstacles, 10-mile course and the odor, perspiration and grime that go hand-in-hand.

Hardest Working Collection Lineup

  • Odor Blocker Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant – Odor Blocker is Old Spice’s most powerful invisible solid anti-perspirant/deodorant, delivering legendary performance through stronger and longer sweat protection than its other collections and a 50 percent increase in BCD odor fighting technology that only Old Spice can claim.
