San Bernardino Sheriff's Department: Mud Run

A few weeks ago (Sept 12th), I went to the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department Mud Run with some friends. We found many people in our ward who were going to run in the race (which made it even more fun to watch). The race started out with S.W.A.T. jumping out of a helicopter into red smoke and then lighting fireworks.
They made sure to hose down all the runners to make the race even muddier. There was a 10k, 5k and a 1k for children.
After running for about 4k on nice dry ground, the runners came into the pits where they had a very muddy stretch.
The kids even had a blast. J.T. in this picture (nephew of a friend) really loved it and didn't even slow down for his dad to run next to him.
Hills and other obstacles were also included in the last 1k.
They are looking to do it again next year...you all should come down and give it a go! For more information, go here.

Wow, what will they think of next. Cheep fun, I suppose, running in the mud. I will do it if you will. :)
