The Muddy Fox Trot, a family-friendly 5K mud run with a boot camp style obstacle course, returns and will be celebrating its 11th year on the West Shore Community College campus on Saturday, July 18, with course flights starting at as early as 9:30 a.m.
The mud run will benefit the WSCC Foundation student scholarship fund.
The adult registration fee is $25 and the course will challenge the weekend warrior through seasoned athlete.
The day of the run, current WSCC students will be free with a valid student ID.
The grown-ups won’t be the only ones who get to play in the mud. There is no registration fee for those under age 16.
Organizers say while there will be challenges, many of the obstacles are similar to other mud runs. The course will include dredging through muddy trenches, scaling muddy hillsides, slogging through shallow water crossings, and climbing over wooden walls and hay bales.
“It’s an entire day of family fun as participants slip, slide, and slosh their way to victory while raising scholarship money for many of the college’s deserving students,” says Julie Page Smith, race organizer and the college’s Wellness Center director. “Our focus is on creating a unique event and the improved course will make it a memorable one whether running or watching.”
Post-run activities will include healthy snacks, drinks, and a chance to meet Westy the Fox.
