mud run

Sloppy obstacle course

A mud run is an obstacle course race where participants navigate trails, climb structures, crawl through tunnels, and wade through muddy pits.

These events emphasize fun and camaraderie over competition, though timed races exist.

Distances typically range from 5K to marathon length: We signed up for a mud run this weekend.

Also called a mud race or obstacle course race.
