The summer of 2007 brought with it our first
(and long awaited) Muddy Watters, Bump &
Run Trail Series. The series was set up to bring
something unique to the sport of trail
running while also benefiting local causes.
The runs are a combination trail, river, mud run
with a ton of bootcamp exercises thrown
in for good measure, most of it's even legal
(other than bridge jumps and storm drain
descents). The first to complete the course while
finishing all exercise stops would be the
winner.
We not only managed to beat the hell out of our
racers but were also able to raise some
funds for causes such as The Greater Michigan
Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, The
Judson Center and Volunteers of America. Not
only that, but we also picked up a ton of both
local and national level media attention for our
efforts. I guess we weren't the only ones who
found it unique. One of the editors at Trail
Runner Magazine referred to our race as "the
nastiest 5K race I've ever heard of ". That was
music to my ears...
