How should you prepare for race day?????
Before race day, try running in mud run conditions. We recommend that you wear old clothes and shoes you can throw away when finished! Bring lots of duct tape, runners tend to lose shoes along the way!
Jump into a bog or a lake, then go for a run. You'll quickly determine which pieces of clothing won't work. It would be infuriating to discover half-way through the Mud Run on event day that your clothing or shoes are uncomfortable when wet and muddy.
The most important thing to keep in mind......the Mud Run is supposed to be fun!
Other commonly asked questions:
Will I get wet? DEFINITELY!
Will I get dirty? GUARANTEED -- THE CLOTHES YOU WEAR WILL NEVER COME CLEAN!
Will I lose my shoes? BETTER BRING A ROLL OF INDUSTRIAL DUCT TAPE! YOU'LL WANT TO TAPE YOUR SHOES TO YOUR PANTS SO THE MUD PITS DON'T SUCK THEM RIGHT OFF YOUR FEET!
