Mad Mountain Run
Hendersonville – June 1
Mud, Music, Beer
The second annual Mad Mountain Mud Run is slated to be a madder and muddier, crazier and filthier obstacle course race and festival this year – all in Hendersonville, N.C.’s Berkeley Park and surrounding forests. Teams of four will race the approximately three-mile course and traverse mud pits, creeks, gooey crawls, climbing obstacles (you will need your teammates!) and more. Those who dress in creative team uniforms will have the biggest smiles, and those who emerge the muddiest will have achieved a great victory (MUD RULES)! And unique to the Mad Mountain Mud Run — a full-blown festival with live music, food and local beer — all day! Fun for racers and festival-goers, and a fantastic way to spend a Saturday this summer.
Wilson Swamp Stomp
Wilson – June 15
Mud, Music
The Wilson Swamp Stomp is an obstacle run. There will be approximately 10 obstacles on the 5k course and another 10 on the 10k course. This event is not a traditional mud run: There will not be mud-filled pits, but there will be belly crawls in the grass and dirt and a wet tunnel crawl. There will also be a portion of the 5k and 10k course that runs through some swampy terrain. The course was designed to take advantage of the natural obstacles and park facilities for the “mud” aspect. The 10k course includes a creek crossing. You will likely get messy! The course is one that a first timer will be able to conquer while having fun but that will also give a veteran mud/obstacle racer a great challenge for the money. Just about every surface and running path except asphalt will be on the course: grass, dirt, single-track trail, wide open spaces, hard-packed dirt, swampy terrain, etc.
