From the Organizer
The Big Horse 5k hosted by Gut Check Fitness is part trail and mud run with a healthy dose of Mother Nature’s obstacles mixed in for fun. You’ll also find some hills, hollers, streams, ponds and lots of HIGH-FIVES. Everyone can do it as long as you have the drive and determination to keep going, not quit and in the words of Joe Dirt, “keep on keepin’ on.“ Be sure to grab your family, friends, coworkers and come join us for one of the most enjoyable events in Central Illinois on the amazing Big Horse Vineyards.
