Clay Springs Mud Run

Recommended Posts

Any CWT members out there yesterday? My family was out there and had a GREAT time. Honestly, I was a little intimidated at first but it really wasn't any harder than you choose to make it. A friend of ours had the shortest time of the day - 26 minutes. It took us about 4 times that long to get through, and some of the obstacles were too tough for me and my wife, but our oldest boys did all the hard parts - our youngest has a broken toe, so he was a little limited.

 

My wife's mom, 65 is darn tough but she slid off one of the few obstacles that didn't have mud underneath and tore a ligament in her ankle.

 

Overall, a really fun time. It was nice to see a lot of the kids from Show Low out there in teams working through it together. Hopefully next year, we'll get the Blue Ridge football team involved. It would be a great team building experience.

 

The guys and gals who put this together did a great job setting up the course and keeping it fun and safe. If you've never done it, it's a really fun way to spend a Saturday morning.

It's basically a 3.5 mile run/jog/walk with muddy obstacles in your way. Some are big mud pits you run through or jump over. Some are elevated logs you balance on. There are swinging ropes over mud pits, crawling on your belly through muddy water under barbed wire, or through a culvert, trying to climb up a knotted rope straight up a slippery mud cliff about 20' which was extremely hard, monkey bars, carrying logs. I'd say there was about 25-30 muddy obstacles to get through.

I didn't go but my wife does it every year and loves it. Probably cause she wins the 18 and over for the women's division.
