I am so excited about this event!!!  I have gotten into the whole running thing a year and a half ago and have been dying to do a mud run!  So I got the wheels a turning- spoke to some people- and WIXX is making it happen!

We (along with Miller 64) are going to be sponsoring the 1st ever Hot Mess Mud Run!  It will be September 15th in Greenleaf.  I am going to try to fill you guys in by answering these questions...

-What is a mud run?

It is a super fun event!  It will be a 5K obstacle course (that we will be putting together with a little help from the marines.) and of course we will be going through the mud!  There will be walls to climb over- there will be water to run through- mud to slide across-and maybe a little splash of color!  The best part about it- winners who finish will also receive a beer to celebrate a job well done!

-Do I have to be a hardcore runner?

Absolutely not- that is what is so great about this event!  You can be someone who runs daily, or someone who just wants to get started.  It is suitable for all levels- you can choose to pass over any obstacle you don't feel comfortable doing!

-Do I run solo?

You can OR you can put together a team (for more encouragement, and lets be honest, laughing in the mud with your friends, or having to haul one of your friends over a wall, is just more fun.)  Their will also be awards being handed out for things like, best team name- best tshirt- best group costume! If you can't tell we are focused on the fun part of this event!

-Is this a girls only thing?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!  We want men AND women- I can't wait to make my husband participate in this!

Is there an age requirement?

Yes- must be 18

Is their a fee?

Yes and proceeds will be donated to a local charity

When is sign up?

You will be able to sign up midweek- and I will have even more details for you then!

What if I don't want to run?

No problem- we need people cheering us on!  We will have a beer tent and bleachers for spectators!  Live music may also be provided!
