MUD CREEK CRAWL is a nationally recognized off-road race (RUNNER'S WORLD's choice as
one of the nation's Top 13 Out-Of-The-Way Races) that is run over a beautiful wooded and hilly
course on trails that were designed for cross-country skiing. Races are a 5 km run, a 10 km run,
and a 5 km walk through the rugged terrain at the confluence of Mud Creek and the Salt River in
the Pine Haven Recreation Area near Sanford, Michigan. The trail surface is natural turf, sand,
or (hopefully) mud, depending upon the pre-race weather. Top finishers are determined through
use of a handicap system of scoring: each entrant will have his/her actual finish time adjusted by
a body type/composition factor and an age/gender factor. This handicapping allows each
runner an essentially equal chance to win in his/her chosen race. Previous CRAWL winners
have ranged in age from pre-teen to post-sixty. Come discover the special character of the
MUD CREEK CRAWL, bring your friends and family to run or spectate. Location, scoring, and
tradition (we've been doing this for more than thirty years) all combine to create a truly unusual
off-road race. Join your runner friends in this unique event!
NOTE: ONLY THE FIRST 250 REGISTRANTS WILL BE ACCEPTED !!!
AWARDS: Medallion awards will be given to the top time-adjusted finish places. Actual times will be collected via chips by
Miller Race Management. Awards will be presented immediately after the last participant finishes each race.
SOUVENIRS: Each entrant will receive a unique souvenir with the MUD CREEK CRAWL name/logo on the souvenir.
REFRESHMENTS: There will be a water station on each race course, and there will also be fruit and liquids at the finish area
for the participants. RACE LOCATION: Pine Haven Recreation Area is at the western end of Maynard Road, off West River Road, north of
Sanford. The West River Road/Maynard Road intersection is just south of the West River Road exit from US 10. There are
signs to Pine Haven.
FACILITIES: Low-tech, man-made changing areas will be available, as will be those grown by Mom Nature; there will also be
portable toilets for other essential pre-race preparations. Ample parking is available in close proximity to the start-finish area.
RACE DAY REGISTRATION: Pre-registered crawlers can pick up numbers and chips from 7:30 a.m. until 15 minutes before
the start of the races, and late registrants can register during that time. All of the races will start promptly at 9:30 a.m.
Runners are encouraged to check-in early to allow time for the body type/composition measurements used in establishing
each individual's time handicap.
RESULTS: Results will be posted day-of-race and will be e-mailed (or mailed) to each entrant within a week.
RACE FEES: Registration is available via the Internet at active.com (key words Mud Creek Crawl), or by sending a check
or money order payable to: "MUD CREEK CRAWL". Enclose $15.00 for each entry received by September 1; after that date
and especially on the day of the race, the fee is $20.00 per entry. A ‘prior entry discount’ of $.50 per year raced (up to 8
