Notice to Mud Run 10K Participants - 2009

We would like to sincerely apologize to everyone who participated in the 10K Mud Run on June 7, 2009.

As many of you are aware, most of you were directed on the wrong route just after the start of the run, and therefore you missed approximately 4K of the first 5K loop; while some of you got turned back after the mistake at the start, and ran the first 5K and second 5K loop as was planned.

For those who continued onto the second 5K loop right after the start, our only option was to re-route you again and try to add back as much of the distance that you missed in the first 5K loop. By doing this we sent you back onto the first 5K loop which brought you through the tires and straw bales a second time. If you finished the run at this point you had run about 8.5K….however, a few of you got past us at this point, and we believe that you did the second 5K loop again, so you may have run about 12-13K.

We have been working with our timing company to try to determine who ran the various distances, and how to rank everyone given the confusion with the course routing and different distances that were run in the 10K. After must internal discussion and feedback from runners, it is clear to us that we cannot accurately rank the results for the 10K Solo and Team runners.

For many of the runners, the Mud Run is a 'fun' trail run which is as much about running on the trails, through rivers, over the obstacles and finishing in the mud pit, as it is about your finish time……but for a large number of the runners in the 10K you were expecting to have an accurate distance, finish time and ranking for your distance, and at this point we can only provide you with your finish time but not your accurate distance or ranking.

Whether you ran for fun, ran for ranking, or both - we once again sincerely apologize for this very unfortunate routing situation and we would like to offer you a half price entry for next year's 10K Mud Run on June 6th, 2010. We would ask that you contact us directly, before the end of the year, at info@adventureracingcanada.com to make arrangements for your half price entry for next year's 10K run.

Thank you very much for your support and understanding, and we hope to see you again at the Mud Run.
