mud runs
Dirty obstacle courses
Mud runs are obstacle course races that incorporate mud pits, water hazards, and physical challenges like climbing walls and rope swings.
Participants expect to get thoroughly dirty.
Events range from casual fun runs to grueling endurance tests like Tough Mudder or Spartan Race: We signed up for a mud run this weekend.
The appeal lies in the combination of fitness challenge and permission to get filthy.
