Mud Runs

A Messy Race Mud runs are races where people run through mud. People have been running in mud runs for about thirty years in the United States. Races are held all over the country. Some mud runs are for people who are good at sports. Some are just for fun. All mud runs are the same in one way. People get very muddy!

They Don't Make It Easy Running through mud isn't easy. The mud sticks to your shoes and slows you down. It's hard to move forward. The people who plan mud runs know this. They use mud to make parts of the course hard.

Racers need to be strong to climb over nets and walls. They need to be careful to get past parts like the balance beam.

They need to get down into the mud to crawl under walls or through tunnels. They need to be brave to slide down big hills or even jump over fire!

Monsters in the Mud Some mud runs have an extra twist, such as monsters. In a zombie mud run, racers run away from people dressed as zombies. Racers can run from zombies or choose to become zombies and chase others. Which would you rather be?
