Mud Run

With the success of last year's Mud Run we'll have again for another year! It will run concurrently with the 5k trail/road race and at the intersection of the Access Road, the Mudder's will continue on the Sweetgum Trail through a series of mud pits and a steep muddy climb before continuing to the finish at the Heritage Center. This will be a separate timed, scored and awarded race from the 5k.
