Is that mud in Marks teeth? It is. And after getting rinsed down by a fire hose and after a 30 minute shower, I am still finding dirt in my ears. After spending the morning crawling in mud for the MS Mud Run this is the result.
More than 2800 people came out to Cecil field to run in the 6 mile military style obstacle course which benefited the North Florida Chapter of the Muscular Sclerosis Society. The event raised over $250 thousand for MS. Runners and spectators spent the day under full sunshine after a cold morning in the upper 30s.
This was the Race's second year and it tripled the number of participants from its inaugural run.
I had no idea what I was in for! The course had us wading through waist deep mud, scaling a 8 foot wall, climbing a 20 foot wall, rope walks, and the worst, swimming through dark culverts placed under roads. If you ever wanted to swim through muddy ditches like the ones on the sides or roads, this is for you. Before the race those pants were red. It doesn't get any dirtier than this. As daunting as this sounds, it was a blast and I can't wait until next year. Check out more videos here.
