Mud Run 2005 - Race Review

The first ever Mud Run on June 11, 2005 was a real (muddy) success. The temperature was hot (in fact very hot), but the runners had lots of opportunities to cool off while running through the shaded forest trails, dew covered fields and during the river crossings (which varied from ankle to waist deep). And if that was not enough to keep them cool, there was also the 'mud pit' at the end of the race where everyone was required to crawl, dive, roll or squirm their way through 30 feet of water soaked mud, before they crossed the finishline. After the race there was lots of bottle water, snacks and showers to clean and cool the muddy bodies of all those who competed in the 2005 Mud Run.

I'm Stuck On The Mud by Stuart Solway

Excitement was in the air, on a sweltering hot Saturday as participants anxiously awaited the start of a race. Muscles were twitching. Nerves were on edge. Athletes were jockeying for position to ensure they got off fast. Click here to read more.....

Hey there!
I was a participant in your 10k Mud Run (first runner of the team "Dirty Girls") and even though it was my first 10k, I am almost sure I can say it will be the best one! I enjoyed it thoroughly and am looking forward to running it again in 2006!

Good Afternoon
On Saturday we participated in the Mud Run. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the organizers, volunteers and sponsors for a great day, all be it a bit on the warm side. As none of us on our team had ever participated in an adventure race this was quite a challenge but we all had a fun time........
Thank you
