From the Organizer
We are bringing back the Black Swamp Dash! This race is a 5k mud run, featuring 20+ obstacles for you to conquer! Many of the obstacles include a "challenge" side, as well as an "Xtreme" side, making our course fun for anyone! Even if you believe you fall under the "couch potato" status, our course will help you prove to yourself that you have what it takes to tackle obstacles you thought you couldn't! This event will include many types of awards. We will be awarding every participant (competitive or not) with a "Return of the Black Swamp Mud Run" medal. In addition to this, we will be having awards for the top male and female performers in each designated age group. If you wish to have a competitive time to earn these awards, then you will want to sign up for a competitive time slot. If you do not want a competitive time, then you will still be able to see an overall time that you completed the race. With registration you will receive an event T-shirt, a wristband, and a medal! Signing up within the first 4 waves will grant the option to also run the course a second time for $5! Those who choose this option will receive a different wristband. We are hopeful to have multiple giveaways, raffles, and other new items that will make this a more immersive event for everyone! We are excited to be able to partner with multiple sponsors, including Ronald McDonald House Charities! We are proud to be able to donate 10% of our proceeds to Ronald McDonald House Charities!
