So my friend and I signed up to take part in our first mud run at the end of September. I am planning on wearing my old sneakers and old clothes. What tips do you have? We are so nervous, but so excited too!

    Don't try to not get muddy. Enjoy it, dive in head first and get everyone around you muddy too! Which race are you doing?

    Make sure your shoes are tiiiieeedddd tight!!! lol My first mud run was Super Spartan and I spent a good 5 minutes searching for my shoe in mud up to my shoulders - Literally. So much fun though! Congrats on signing up! It's how you get hooked!

    my friend did one a few weeks ago, duct tape your shoes on or you WILL loose them, and a mud run without shoes is very uncomfortable/painful from what I've heard!!

    We signed up for the Pretty Muddy Womens Run in Columbus, OH. It is women only so we thought that might be a good place to start.

    Where shorts with a drawstring...I did the Warrior Dash and almost came out of the mud pit without my shorts since I didn't have drawstring. For the Dirty Girl mud run I had on good shorts and it was much more enjoyable!
