I’M NOT IN VERY GOOD SHAPE, IS THIS A BAD IDEA?
Absolutely not! The F.I.T. Mud Run Challenge is not a race, it is a Challenge of your Fortitude, Integrity and Toughness, do you have it?
CAN KIDS PARTICIPATE?
YES! There is a designated kids course for the Trail Race and is a .79 mile course. For the Obstacle Course Race, there is no designated kids course, however kids are welcome with parental consent to participate on our main course. We have had hundreds of kids participate with our youngest finisher being 4 years old.
CAN WE COMPETE WITH TEAMS?
There is no team division, but you're welcome to take the Challenge with a group to help you through the obstacles. For more information about a group rate or special wave time, contact us at fitchallenge@yahoo.com. We will ABSOLUTELY accommodate you!
CAN I BYPASS AN OBSTACLE?
As a true test of Fortitude, Integrity, and Toughness you're expected to complete all obstacles. However, if you're unable to complete an obstacle, you may bypass the obstacle and you will absolutely receive your finisher medal.
PARKING? BATHROOMS? SHOWERS?
Parking is ON SITE ($10) and your car is literally footsteps from the starting line and vendor area. Our bag check hasn't been used because parking was so close and accessible! We have an onsite bathroom building located in the park. We have hoses available over at the bathroom house to hose off, however, we ALWAYS recommend bringing a gallon of water for an extra rinse!
SPECTATORS?
YES, we absolutely WELCOME spectators and ALL, and we mean ALL of our obstacles are viewable! Your friend or family member will be able to see you in action! There is a $10 spectator fee.
CAN I VOLUNTEER?
Yes! And, volunteering gets you a free race entry! If you want a timing chip, its $10, multilaps are the same as everyone, $10/lap.
Volunteer Credit for the Ultra is a one-time $55 refund or discount. The Ultra cost is OUTRAGEOUSLY high, which is why we only can discount it $55 for one shift.
IF you want your race entry refunded, volunteer after you run on race day OR sign-up to volunteer on break down day the Sunday after the event!
Volunteer credits are good for ONE year from the time of service and can be given to someone else.
If you're interested in volunteering, email scott@fitchallenge.org
