What is a mud run?

A mud run is a type of obstacle course race where participants have to pass through several obstacles, including crawling through mud pits, climbing walls, and jumping over hurdles. The course may also include water challenges, such as swimming through muddy water or wading across a river.

Mud runs are usually held on outdoor terrain such as countryside or forest areas. Participants can either compete individually or in teams. They are often held for charity purposes with the proceeds going towards a specific cause.

Mud runs can range in distance and difficulty level, from 5k runs with a few obstacles to 10k or longer races with more challenging obstacles. These events are often designed to challenge participants physically and mentally, with the hope of fostering teamwork and camaraderie.
