April 23, 2026

Building on UK success, the new partnership provides 750,000+ U.S. athletes with Next-Gen tools to turn physical grit into massive fundraising power.

Boston, MA (April 23, 2026) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Spartan and Tough Mudder, the global leaders in obstacle course racing and endurance sports, have officially named givestar as their Official U.S. Fundraising Partner. This strategic expansion follows a record-breaking partnership in the UK, where the “Home of Impact” platform successfully transformed the grit of the OCR community into a powerful force for global good.

This new U.S. agreement brings seamless, integrated fundraising to more than 750,000 annual participants. Building on the huge success of the UK partnership, the mission is clear: accelerate fundraising impact stateside with next-generation tools built to make giving easier, faster, and more powerful for every athlete.

From the moment participants register for a Spartan or Tough Mudder challenge, they will be plugged directly into givestar’s frictionless fundraising journey. By removing traditional barriers to entry, athletes gain instant access to tools designed to supercharge their impact for the causes they care about most.

“This partnership feels like a perfect fit,” said Tom Montague, Co-Founder of givestar. “Spartan and Tough Mudder participants thrive on pushing limits and creating impact, and that’s exactly what givestar was built for. Expanding our partnership to the US is a huge next step for us and an exciting moment in our growth journey.”

Matt Brooke, Senior VP of Global Operations at Spartan, added: “We’ve already seen the powerful results givestar delivered in the UK, and we’re thrilled to bring that energy stateside. This partnership is about unlocking even more fundraising potential from our incredible community and driving a bigger impact for charities across the US.”

With this launch, givestar continues its rapid US expansion, combining innovation, energy, and purpose to help Spartan and Tough Mudder athletes go beyond the finish line and make Mud Matter.
