Race Information
Gobble gobble everyone. Come burn some calories before adding on more calories. On the weekend before Thanksgiving, Operation Mud Run is having its next mud run event.
Why do the typical turkey trot when you can bring your friends, family, kids, and enjoy something different before the winter bulk begins? This isn’t your average 5K. Expect epic obstacles, deep mud pits, steep climbs, and plenty of surprises along the way. Every step will test your determination, teamwork, and grit as you battle through the course and earn your finish. Race hard and chase the front of your wave, or take your time, laugh your way through the mud, and help your teammates conquer each obstacle.
Whether you’re a seasoned obstacle course racer, a weekend warrior, or a first-timer convincing your friends to join the adventure, there’s a place for you on the starting line.
