Race Information
Mud Hero is one of Canada's most popular obstacle course race series. Participants get to work their way through a 6km (ish) course with 18 + obstacles. Expect a lot of mud, and a variety of challenges, but no electric shocks or burpees ;) If you're looking for a bit more of a challenge, the Ottawa event offers an Ultra 10K option, which features a longer course and a number of additional obstacles. Kids can also participate in the Mud Hero Kids course that features downsized versions of the adult course.
