2013 Mankato Mud Run

The 3rd annual Mankato Mud Run is a challenging mud/obstacle course.  We have a 5K and a 3K, and races for Elites, Adults, Kids, and Families.  The Mankato Mud Run is a family friendly event, yet challenging for those who run the full 5K.  The Mud Run takes place on Loyola Hill, Mankato Minnesota, on Saturday  August 17th 2013. 

The Mud Run includes 3 Mud Pits, a Creek Run with Tunnel, 2 long steep hills, climbing walls, climbing nets, crawl tunnels, and many other fun obstacles!  There is a 5K race (3.1 Miles) and a 3K course (1.6 miles with only 1 hill) so that everyone can participate.  While many race, walking is also permitted.  Don't forget the Costume Contest!

The 5K includes elite and competitive races, with prize money and trophies.  All 5K races are timed. The 3K includes the same obstacles, but is shorter is eliminates a long hill.  All Entrants receive Tech Race Shirts, Goodie Bags, and Finisher Medals.  Adults can join the after-race party and get 1 free beer.

Race proceeds go to Charity, including Loyola Booster Club and Team Winter.

Kids Races:  There are Kids Races for the 3K and the 5K.  Parents are allowed to go with their children if they want, for free to supervise.

Team and Company Races:  There are Team and Company Races with awards at the 5K distance.

What if I can't do an Obstacle?  If you can't do an obstacle, you will be allowed to do 10 pushups instead.
