In my experience, sometimes on placing and sometimes on timing. Tough Mudder does not time, no foot chips or anything. I've done a Zombie one that timed (though it was crazy they made us turn in the chips after and trying to untie our muddy shoes in late October was not fun) and I believe Warriors have different age groups as well, and are definitely timed. I've never run them competitively though!

The only one I have experience with is timed and there were prizes - both overall and age group. It was a local race that supports a local organization -- it's called the Trooper Challenge.
Warrior Dash and the Spartan Mud Runs are timed. As some one previously states, Tough Mudder is not. I also did the Dirty Girl Mud Run which was not timed.
