Runners! The Few. The Proud.
We are changing up the course and adding new mud to your old mud favorites!!
This course will be CHALLENGING. Would you expect anything less from Marines? It consists roughly of 3 miles of off-road running, which entails some obstacles, hills, and of course, mud pits. Wear old clothing and shoes. This off road 5K adventure takes you across scenic trails and fields, obstacles, mud, and water. It is open to individuals and teams. Be prepared for some real clean fun! Showers are available for those who will need to be cleansed afterwards...Marines will make sure you successfully complete their course!
Every participant will receive a Commemorative 2026 Mud Run T-shirt during Packet Pick-up if selected during the registration process.
Ooh-rah!
