Brief Description

Mud Run is a combination of regular citizens, Civil Servants, companies, teams, colleges and some military personnel competing together through a series of boot camp styled obstacles that have been surrounded by (or consist entirely of) mud. The race is 10K and it is unique to the world of adventure racing. This is definitely not something you could set up in your backyard. 30+ obstacles for runners 12 years and older. Runners under the age of 18 must have waiver signed by an adult and must be accompanied by an adult during the entire race. See our website for details. www.TheOriginalMudRun.com

Fees

$40-$75 

All participants are asked to set up a participants donation page. Friends, family and co-workers can support your effort & raise some much needed cash for our charitable partners. We can't conduct the race w/out their volunteer help & they can't do the great work they do without ours. 100% of all pledged funds go directly to the charity.

What is DGAP?

DGAP stands for Division for Generally Athletic People or Don't Give A Poop (about my placement). It is the FUN RUN division. There are no requirements for attire, gender or team size. IT IS AN INDIVIDUAL ENTRY! There's NO TEAM OPTION DURING REGISTRATION but you can form as a team at the race in any way you want! Again you can wear anything, run as fast or slow as you want, wear tennis shoes, wear shorts, wear costumes, run as a team of any size, have fun, stop and play, anything you want. 

Additional Information

ATTIRE
All Prize Categories (teams and individuals BUT NOT DGAP) will be wearing boots and utes-combat boots and camouflage utility trousers or long pants (no tights). All Prize Categorie Participants MUST wear BOOTS that cover the ankle and loose-fitting pants, cargo pants or sweat-pants. If you don't like that, run in the fun run called DGAP....in the DGAP division any attire goes (we suggest boots and pants since terrain is rough) and course is basically the same. Unauthorized attire in PRIZE DIVISIONS will result in participants removal from the competition. Required race attire in Prize Divisions is for the safety of all participants competing at a much faster pace, a leveling of the playing field and is more conducive to the rough nature of the obstacles along the course. Expect everything you wear to be covered in mud and water by the end of the race. Bring extra clothes and a towel! All DGAP participant are highly encouraged to wear the same attire as the competitive groups but there is no requirement to do so for participation. DGAP is also the CRAZY COSTUME division and there are no requirements to complete all obstacles if a participant does not feel inclined to do so. There are NO DGAP TEAMS..... OFFICIALLY. DGAP is an Individual entry but you can all run together and call yourself a team of any size or gender combination. If you want to run with friends in DGAP...register for the same start time!

OBSTACLES
There are approximately 25-30 obstacles to overcome along the 6.2 Mile course, most of which contain water and mud. Although none of the obstacles are impossible or dangerous, they do require a certain level of strength and fitness and the potential exists for injury due to falls, trips and crawling. Obstacles can be taken at any pace and thus the course is able to be completed by most anyone. It will challenge you more as you attempt a greater speed completing it. Safety will be the number one priority during the event. Participants will be required to conduct themselves in a controlled and serious manner while navigating obstacles. Anyone deemed to be a danger to themselves or others through reckless behavior, will be removed from the obstacle and/or the course. Volunteers will be course safety monitors and are present throughout the course. IF you do not have the athletic ability to complete an obstacle you are encouraged to skip it. Please adhere to the tenets of the waiver and consult a physician prior to attempting this race. The requirements for stamina, upper body strength and swimming may require the evaluation of a fitness professional.
