I would LOVE to do this untimed obstacle course race, just because it looks like so much fun. Is anyone else going?

    It looks like it was a one day event, but they've added Sunday too. Lots of slots are open on Sunday. Are you in PA?

    I am so totally considering doing this!!! I am nowhere near ready to RUN a 5k, but I could definitely walk one with periods of running! It sounds like an absolute blast, and I'm only about two hours from there. Hmm...I need to talk to my hubby and get my booty signed up!

    Yes - I am in Lancaster County - about 2 hours away. I am running my first 5K in a couple weeks, but this does look like fun!

    Bump... anyone else interested in going? My hubby said he'd drive, but I know it's a women's only event.

    Anyone else interested in going? I like the idea that it's untimed, since it will be my first adventure race. Has anyone ever trained for one of these?

    It would be neat to meet other MFP members there. Maybe we should wear something so we can find each other?

    Are any of you hesitant to sign up because you'd be doing this alone? I don't even know if my hubby would be able to go with me to this event, so I'd be flying solo. Any suggestions or thoughts?

    Well, I'm just the type of gal that doesn't like to travel by herself. I know I could do the event solo if I really wanted to.

    But I don't have to go alone.... my cousin, Kara, said she'd love to give it a try! She hasn't worked out in a year and is overweight, but she's hoping that this will motivate her to get back in the swing of things. A friend, Margo, might be going too. I have to give her a call over the weekend. I'm VERY EXCITED. I'd better start training now.:-D

    We could always have a MFP meetup at the event. Then no one would feel like they were there alone.

    I'm signed up with my oldest friend for the 10:00 am wave on Sunday. Neither of us is sporty and this is our first 5k/mud run. So excited for it!

    That really does look like fun. Maybe next year when we have a bit more money. I wish we had 75$ for me to do this. :(

    Did everyone check the website out. There were several locations throughout the US listed there. http://www.godirtygirl.com/

    Well, if some of you sign up for this date, let me know. We'll have to figure out a way to identify and find one another.

    TOTALLY BUMMED!!! I got an e-mail a few days ago, saying the second day, May 6th was cancelled. I can't do the 5th because I'm helping to administer the SATs. I'm really disappointed...... I had to ask for a refund.:-(
