WE'RE BAAAAACK - mark your calendar for June 18, 2016 as this year we celebrate 5 years of muddy glory - you know what that means - even more surprises, twists, turns and of course MUD than ever!

This year's race will be another 5 miles of mud, obstacles and more - each year you ask for bigger and better - and have we disappointed you yet?! We didn't think so - runners will face some new challenges, or as we say at JCB, opportunities to show what you're made of - and as always some of the favorites like the JCB lake and tire field will be back in all their glory with a few new shake ups to keep it interesting.

Last year's single runner entries were so popular you will have your chance to tackle this year's course alone OR with a partner - whichever way you choose, make sure to sign up early because the early birds get the good mud, as they say!

JCB MudFest is - RUN & PARTY! And the Post Race Party will begin as soon as the first teams are finishing in our Party Pit where you can watch the finish, hear live music and enjoy food and drinks. Food and drink is FREE for the race participants as part of your registration fee, spectator food and drink is available for a $10 donation to The Lady Bamford Center.

Mud Dobbers Run for 7 year olds and younger is FREE! The Mud Dobbers race is run at 7:50AM PRIOR to the start of the Mud Run and is only run once, so make sure your kiddos are at the start line at 7:50AM to take part in all the action!

Parking is FREE and available in the Mighty Eighth parking lot and in the large open field across from the Mud Run start line. Look for our handy parking volunteers and they will make sure you get the closest spot.

Spectators are FREE - unless you want to partake of all the great food & drink and then it's only a $10 donation to the Lady Bamford Center.

Please note, we love our four legged friends, but NO DOGS allowed on premises unless they are a registered guide dog and have appropriate paperwork to support.

First place trophies will be given to the following divisions for the best overall times after the Mud Run is completed at the Party Pit stage so make sure you stay and enjoy the party!
