Tough Mudder is a biotch. It's almost exclusively dominated by Crossfit folks which, even without the puking and rhabdomyolosis, is still the most dangerous fitness fad to hit the U.S., IMHO.
Spartan and Savage have different levels of races, neither of which I'll try this year.
As for being "in shape" enough to run them, don't worry. I saw some big ol' boo-hoggin bufferillas out there stretching the limits of both their spandex and my gag reflex. There's no room for pride when you're slogging through these courses. If you want to participate, nothing should stop you. Just go slower and go around the obstacle you can't complete. Nobody cares when it's over.
