Mud Monkey 2025 2026

Mud Monkey guides participants through mud, water, fire, and hands-on obstacles rather than a traditional road course. The shorter distances include a 5K featuring 25 technical and natural obstacles, and an 8K with over 40. The 5K is accessible to participants aged 13 and older with a signed parental consent form, while the 8K requires participants to be 16 or older and provide their own consent. Challenges involve climbing, crawling, mud pits, zip lines, icy water, flames, and slippery stones. Runners can participate individually or as a group. The course incorporates live interference from MudMonkeys who physically impede runners and attempt to disrupt their progress with taunts and resistance. A longer Extreme 21K is scheduled, offering more than 70 obstacles for those seeking the full-distance challenge.
