“The Udder Mud Run is designed for everyone … to accommodate everyone from the mud-run aficionado to first time mud run participants,” said Leroy Bagley, educational program specialist for the FFA-FCCLA Center. “The 5K run will have over 20 obstacles, and the one-miler will have over 10 obstacles.”
The longer course is for participants age 13 and up, and a competition heat will result in awards for top finishers. The one-mile course is designed for all participants, but those under 13 must be accompanied by an adult. In addition, a family-friendly spectator area will include entertaining booths, and everyone who survives the fun-filled Udder Chaos will receive a finisher’s medal and a T-shirt.
Registration for the long course is $60 per person by Sept. 22, and $65 the day of the event. The one-mile course, with a minimum group of two, is $30 per person. For participants running both courses, discounts may be available.
The event kicks off at 10 a.m. on Sept. 28. Since there’s a high probability participants will get muddy, it’s advised to bring a change of clothes, a towel and a trash bag to hold race clothes. Wear regular running shoes, but be sure to tie the laces tight to avoid losing them on the course. Food will be available for purchase at the FFA-FCCLA Center the day of the event.
Proceeds from the Udder Mud Run benefit the FFA-FCCLA Center, a 500-acre facility that hosts groups and camps year-round to teach integrity, responsibility, respect and dependability, as well as other core values prized by the two programs.
