🎪MUDDY DASH IS BACK❕🏃🏽

Muddy Dash is not your average mud run. Navigate a series of multiple challenging obstacles. Come face to face with the elements as you trudge through mud, climb rock formations, and be blasted by foam cannons that wash you clean (kinda sorta) as you cross the finish line. This world-class run that requires teamwork, courage, endurance, and will push you to your limits.

I know how you all really enjoy your endorphins dripping, but I’m sure you’re not one to forget your regular drip of serotonin too! One of my favorite ways is by getting nice and muddy! Did you know, that within the multitudes of bacterium found in mud, one will come across a Mycobacterium Vaccae, a bacteria that has shown interaction with a particular group of brain neurons that produce serotonin, just like an antidepressant does! So let’s get down and dirty with our bad selves and partake in a fun and light hearted race where the mud is the main event!

Please be sure to check out the MuddyDash’s website to learn more about this event.

💪🏽 Difficulty: This is not exactly a beginner friendly event, as we will be traversing over multiple challenging obstacles covered in mud. Although, All Obstacles are optional, so it CAN be beginner friendly if you choose to make it so!

🚗🚙Carpooling/Driving: We will be organizing a carpool situation from our usual spot in front of Muchas Gracias in Gateway (1307 NE 102nd Ave.). We will leave promptly after organizing at 10:00! If you’re running late you may just be driving to the venue solo.
For those who want to carpool, just know that you should be prepared to drive.
If you wish to meet us at the venue, please let me know.l in advance.
It's a 40min (24miles) long drive from where we meet up at Gateway to the event location.
However, if you're willing to drive then perhaps you can carpool, a couple people without cars would greatly appreciate it.
Riders, please pay $10 to drivers (to cover gas and parking). This could increase with fewer riders and a higher charge.

🅿️Parking/Fees: Parking fees will be $10-$25, cash only per vehicle.
