Mud Runs

Mud / Obstacle Runs are the new "thing" to do on the racing scene (good... maybe they'll leave marathon running alone for a bit and registration for major races will calm down!). In any event, not all of these types of runs are created equal. The distances vary... as well as the types of obstacles... so which should you choose?

• Travel- do you want to make the race into a mini-vacation or stay close to home?
• Friends- make things more fun... especially mud runs
• Assess your fitness level- consider the obstacles and race distance and make sure your training is up to par
