Mud run/obstacle course

[The Grebe]

Can anyone reccommend a mud run that isn't quite as demanding as the 'Tough Mudder' or 'Go Commando'? We'er trying to get together a group of mixed ages and we'er looking for something? I've been on the net without much luck...anyone know of anything? Thanks.

I've been looking for the same thing. We have a few people at work who want to do one together next summer. We did the TC 5K this year as a group but want to up the game a little for next year. However, we aren't up for something super crazy. Thinking something in the 5k distance.

If we can't find a doable obstacle course, we are looking at running the 5k Get Lucky run. If I come across something, I will post it. If you find something, I hope you do the same.

We did The Mud Games in Blaine and Hugo, they have a short course that's 11/2 miles or the 5k. We did the short course the first time to try it out and then the long course at Hugo. It was tough but definitely not as intense as some of the others.

The Mud Games looks like a good option. It might be a little easy for someone who is in good shape and atheletic but it should be doable for those that might not be.

If I find anything else I'll post it. So far most that I have found haven't released any info for 2014 races yet so it might be a waiting game until races get announced this spring.

Warrior Dash at Afton Alps on July 12th. I don't know how this compares to other races since it's the only one I've done so far. 5k race with the hills being the real obstacle, all the others you can go around if you simply can't handle them. I didn't think it was anything too tough. Sign up on Cyber Monday to save about 50%. (got that last part in an email this morning).

I did Warrior Dash in Afton Alps last year, it was amazing. This run involves a lot of up hill and down hill running. It starts out with about a .75 miler up a black diamond ski hill. It was so much fun. I already signed up to run on July 12th. Remember, its July, running later in the day is going to be a lot more hotter. It takes on average about an hour to run it. At the finish line, trade in your timing chip for a cold beer. Also, signing up for the St Paul Tough Mudder on July 19th. See you there.. The Perch..

Hard Charge out of Fargo, ND has a good course design. Check out there HSOforum. They are even televising the elite athlete/runner portion. They are going to be in the cities this May 17, 2014.

Sounds like fun!

Someone at my office found the Hit and Run 5k and a bunch of us signed up for it. If you've seen the show Wipeout, its basically like that over a 5k. You do 7 obstacles like you see on the show. Should be fun.

The race is on May 10th and I think its $35/person although Groupon supposedly had a coupon so you may be able to look into that.

For race details google Hit and Run 5k.
