Brief Description

The 2009 Serve America Mud Run offers the ultimate in muddy competition and fun in an adventure-filled obstacle course.The course begins at the entry of Camp James - Hidden Valley in Irvine, winds through the old lion country safari pits, jungle ride path and crevices, and into a giant mud pit --- all right down the road from the Irvine Spectrum!
