INDIVIDUAL & TEAM COMPETITION: Participants may compete as individuals or as part of a 4-person team or open sized team with an unlimited number of runners. Costumes and matching team outfits are encouraged. Help us make this the wildest mud run ever.

* Individual Male
* Individual Female
* (4) Person Male Team
* (4) Person Female Team
* (4) Person Mixed Team (at least one person from the opposite gender)
Age brackets are standard five year increments. Choose your age upon registration.
You must be 13 years of age or older and in good health to participate in the adults mud run. Kids 12 and below are allowed to register and run in the Mud Puddles Kids Race Area.
If you are part of a 4 Person Team, all four team members must cross the finish line TOGETHER to compete for awards!
WAVE START: The start will consist of separate “waves”. The first waves will be individual timed runners, followed by timed teams, then untimed individuals, untimed teams, and then the kids run. Waves times will be added to meet demands of registration patterns. Timed waves will be further sent off in 3-5 minute waves due to the narrowness of the trails in several areas and flow of participants over the obstacles, this will help prevent crowding.
Winning times for timed runners and teams will be based on TAG time, not GUN time, so it is possible for individual runners in the second wave and teams in the fourth wave to place in the event.
AWARDS: Awards will be given to the top 3 male and female individual finishers in each 5 year age group for timed individuals only.
ENTRY FEES: Non-refundable and non-transferable. Once we accept your entry, you will not receive a refund if you cannot participate. You may not give or sell your number to anyone else.
CONFIRMATION: Online and mail in entries will be confirmed by e-mail if a valid email address is provided. If you mail in your entry, your canceled check is your receipt. If you do not receive an email confirmation it may be due to spam filters or firewalls on your computer.
PACKET PICK UP: You will be given the choice to have your packet mailed to you, or to pick it up same day on site at the event for an additional charge.
As we have thousands of particpicants it is logistically impossible to hand out all race numbers an t-shirst the day of the event, thus we have two packet pick up days at no charge. These will most likely be the Saturday before the event, and the Friday(day before event) at a sporting goods shop in the Orange County area proximate to the event site. Details will be posted once confirmed with the stores.
