Spots for the Hunter Subaru Mad
Mountain Mud Run, coming June 1 to Berkeley Park in Hendersonville, are filling
up fast, and an all important deadline is nearing: the free t-shirt cut-off date is May 1.
“Most participants who tackle a
challenging race like this are in it first for the thrill of accomplishment,
but a near second is for the t-shirt!” said Ellen Seagle, race administrator
and avid adventure racer. “There’s
nothing like that feeling of pride when you don a race t-shirt that you earned
through sweat and perseverance.”
Racers must register no later than 5
p.m. on May 1 to be guaranteed an event t-shirt, and can register and find more
information at madmountainmudrun.com. Please
note, there is a cap on the number of participants for this event, and registration
could be full before May 1, as the event sold out by early May last year.
The Mad Mountain Mud Run is an
approximate 3-mile muddy team adventure race, the only event of its kind in
western North Carolina. The team event
is challenging, and includes muddy obstacles that must be crawled under,
climbed over and traversed through. New
this year are climbing walls (that can be bypassed with a time penalty),
tractor tire flipping, swamp terrain and more.
Racers must be 12 or older to participate, and must choose a competitive
category, as teams with similar abilities will race together. All proceeds benefit Hands On! – A Child’s
Gallery, a children’s museum located in downtown Hendersonville, N.C.
