The race clocks in at right around 5K, but be ready to go up and down hills of all sorts, cross creeks, rocks, mud puddles, and tree limbs, navigate barriers and push yourself to the limit! You’ll probably want to leave your phone in your car.
The Mud, Guts, and Freedom Mud Run raises funds for Barbour County Middle School Soccer and Cross Country programs. You can register ahead of time or on the day of the event and you are welcome to compete as an individual or as a four person team.
This unique race is a low-key, community-driven event that is created by and for our younger teenage kids, with help and support from the county commission and parks & recreation department.
