There are 21 scheduled obstacles that include 3 mud pits, two hill climbs, a water slide, tires, cargo nets, sugar cookie sand mound, water crossing, log rolling, wall climbs and all kinds of other obstacles. Don’t be surprised if we add a few more. You are going to get dirty!
The course is designed to be challenging but doable for everyone. There will be a bailout section for any obstacle if you are uncomfortable it. In particular there is a planned water crossing. That obstacle will have a clear bailout section that will allow any runner to skip the obstacle and run around the pond to the next obstacle.
The distance is approximately 8K (4.8 miles). There will be a “shortcut” for those who want to get back to the beer tent first. It will be after obstacle 17 above and will cut off about a mile. You will NOT be eligible for awards if you take the short cut and we can’t guarantee your friends won’t give you grief for it.
How does the course compare to the Dirty Girl of Tough Mudder. The Lake Country Halloween Mud Run is set right in the middle. There will be more obstacles, more mud pits, more dirt and the course is about 1.7 miles longer than Dirty Girl.
Its shorter and less intense than the Tough Mudder. You won’t have to cross fire, carry any logs, crawl under barb wire or get electrocuted at this event. It is about 1/2 the distance of the Tough Mudder.
The course was designed by a former US Navy Special Forces instructor and as such the obstacles are designed to be challenging but safe.
