Obstacles, Obstacles, Obstacles … 36 to be exact

“History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats.” — B. C. Forbes.

Each year we see so many from our community come out to overcome the Mud Mash obstacles.  They’re muddy, challenging and fun.  Build your team and register today!

Thoughts on how to prepare for the Redding Sunrise Rotary Mud Mash, Family Mud Run …

BRING THE FAMILY TOGETHER FOR A MUD RUN

Mud Run’s can be challenging but remember this is a family fun event and you will do this at your own pace and strength level.  This is about getting muddy, laughter and great memories.

TRAINING EXERCISES TO GET READY FOR THIS FAMILY FUN EVENT

FAMILY MUD RUN EXERCISE #1: Push-ups: One of the easiest and fastest ways to build up your core and upper body strength.

FAMILY MUD RUN EXERCISE #2: Squats: No one really likes squats, but they are one of the most effective exercises for building core and quad strength. Start small and work your way up to heavier weight as the weeks go on.

FAMILY MUD RUN EXERCISE #3: Pull-ups: Just like push-ups, great for strengthening your core, upper body, and back. If you can’t do a pull-up, don’t worry, just work at building up your upper body through push-ups.

What do you wear to a mud run?

What do you wear to a mud run?  For those that are new, or returning but need a refresher, we have a the top 5 suggestions from the seasoned Mud Mashers…
  1. Dress practical. You want to avoid cotton and anything heavy. Don’t wear big, cotton t-shirts or sweatpants. …
  2. Protection. There are obstacles in a mud run that can cause cuts and bruises. … consider wearing knee pads
  3. Durable clothing. Our obstacles are demanding. … Most people wear leggings or long workout pants to protect their legs through the obstacles
  4. Footwear.  Start with great socks and wear shoes that you aren’t hoping to preserve (its likely they will be so muddy that you will want to trash them).
  5. Duct tape.  Consider taping your shoes before the run, shoes can easily get sucked off of your feet and stuck in the mud (I know because it happened to me the very first time and I ran the rest of the race with a ton of mud in them – it was terribly uncomfortable).

Don’t forget to register today at https://www.raceentry.com/races/nash-ranch-mud-mash/2018/register.  Don’t forget the prices go up $5 per entry on September 2nd.

Fun in the mud …

I’m in love with mud,
It’s sad, I know, but true.
I just can’t help but splash in it,
Or stomp a path right through.

It’s sticky and it’s dirty,
And it covers all my clothes.
But when I see it lying there,
A voice inside me grows…

…You can’t resist, you know I’m right,
It’s fun to play in mud!
Look at it just sitting there,
I really think you should!

I splatter in the grimy gloop,
I can’t resist the ooze!
I run, I jump, I stamp about,
It drips into my shoes!

Mud Mash Blast from the Past

At Redding Sunrise Rotary we’re remembering you and the fun we had in past years. When we look back we think about the amazing challenges each of you overcame during this event and the pure laughter at each obstacle. Sometimes that laughter is “YES, I did it” or “WOW that was really muddy!”. But you know what, you did it and you did it well. We are amazed at the number of families, friends, kids and season Mud Mash/Mud Run veterans who show up to support our fund raising event, year after year!
