_ The 2018 Dayton Muddler:

General Information:
This event will take place on Saturday, August 4th, 2018. Start times will be based on the selected wave.

History and Purpose
The Dayton Muddler is a unique 4-mile muddy adventure course through the historic Town of Dayton. “Muddlers” will encounter a variety of obstacles along the way, such as the Cooks Creek Water Run, Recon Wall, Fort Harrison Haul, Mud Crawls, Hay Bale Climb, a 150-foot water slide, feed sack carry, aerial sprays and more.

It’s truly for a great cause — all net proceeds from the Muddler benefit Boulder Crest Retreat.

Music, Food & Beverages will be available throughout the day!

Events
Participants can sign up for ONE of FIVE events!

1. Muddler - This is considered the standard Mud Course, our most popular option. You may enter as an individual or with a team, competitive or non-competitive.
2. Bike Sprint with/without Muddler Option -  an individual or team entry, 13+ mile road BIKE sprint (there are a few gravel portions) tacked on to the beginning of the Muddler Course. In short, a grueling biathlon “sprint” designed to tax your system to the max.
3. Youth Course -Run the full course with a few obstacle restrictions for the youngsters!
4. Half-Marathon Run - This is a 13.1 road race option that participants can take part in rather than get dirty.
5. Half-Marathon with Muddler Option - If a 13.1 mile run just isn't challenging enough for you, activate beast mode and add the 4 mile Muddler to the end.

Please contact event management if you'd like for us to set up a coupon code for you.

Registration Process and Wave Assignment for Individuals:
Participants will be asked to select the wave they wish to participate in at the time of registration. In order to avoid congestion on the course, waves will be strictly limited to the first 30 registered. Participants have the option to switch waves up until August 1st. Bib numbers will be assigned according to the wave for which you registered and you may only start with the wave in which you are assigned.

Registration Process and Wave Assignment for Teams:
For participants who wish to be part of a team, each individual of the team must complete their own registration. If you are a team leader, you will need to first create a new team when you register. You will then need to share the team name, along with what wave that you selected, with the other members. Additional members will then be able to select this team from a drop down box when they register. Be sure that all members of a team register at the same time. If your teams wave fills up, you will not be able to start with your team. Instead, you'll have to move the team to a later wave.

- All Competitive teams must consist of a minimum of 5 members - not all of the same gender. 

- Non-competitive teams consist of at least 2 members, but have no cap on team size, or genders.
