All I care about is seeing Mindas covered in mud. That will be quite a sight.

I haven't.... that would be pretty epic! I like that it's not a race and that the focus is on teamwork.

One month after the Chicago area Mud Run Mindas mentioned at the start of this thread is another event at the same location. This time it's a bike/run with two-person teams. Each team member does the same course, but it is split into short segments so that while one is running the other bikes and then they switch back and forth. By the end of the race, each has run about 3 miles and each has biked about 3 miles. And of course, it ends with a mud pit, but the team members must enter together. The web site has some video, but it looks like they had heavy rain the day before and the whole race became a mud run.

I also saw on facebook the "Warrior Dash" (http://www.warriordash.com/register2010_midwest.php) But I could not get any takers at TOTJO..

This one is at the end of June and I know my wife wouldn't wanna compete...

Is the mud run still on? I went to the site and it doesn't have anything listed. I sent them an email... I'm hoping I can still get registered.

I recently had to change email addresses and it occurs to me that if they sent out any notice, I wouldn't have gotten it. The original web page said they were accepting registrations through 7/1, but even the direct link to the Chicago run that I had saved is not working. I've dropped them a note too. If it's off I need to get my refund.

If you hear anything before I do, please let me know. I really was looking forward to this event.

The official response is, "This event has been postponed until May 22 of 2011." In other words, it's cancelled and their going to try again next Spring.

I say we look at the Muddy Buddy race on 8/1.
