For those of you done with your racing seasons...My husband and I put on a 2-day, 3 race trail running event at Kenyon College (Gambier, OH). This is the 3rd year of the event, and it will be on 10/24 and 10/25 this year. The Mudman Triple includes a trail time-trial in the dark (7:00PM Saturday), a 5K steeplechase (9:30AM Sunday) featuring "The Gauntlet", and a 10K cross-country run (11:00AM Sunday). You can enter 1, 2, or all 3 races... entering all three makes you an official "Mudman" and you get a special extra prize.If you're still reading and wondering what exactly "The Gauntlet" is, it's a 75-meter super-obstacle that includes mud pits, dirt piles, giant logs, and a stream crossing. And you get to do it twice, the first time 800m into the race and the second 2.6 miles into the race.The courses are challenging but scenic, with a lot of hills (longest is ~800m), and a mix of single track and double track. Entry fee is $15 for the first race, and $5 for each additional race. Fee includes technical T, Saturday evening chili fest, Sunday morning snacks, a nifty glowstick (for the night race), and usage of Kenyon Athletic Center locker room/shower pass.You WILL get dirty. Especially if you do the Steeplechase, so extra clothes/shoes are recommended.Entry form: http://bfec.kenyon.edu/outdoor_rec/images/2009%20Mudman%20Entry.pdfCourse Maps: http://bfec.kenyon.edu/outdoor_rec/09registration.htmIf you have any other questions, contact me here and I'll get back to you!

This sounds super awesome. I love mud runs. Unfortunately I'll be out of town all this weekend. Next year I'll plan for it!

Also agree that it sounds like a lot fun.  I'll look for it next year since I am already entered in the White Trail Trail half marathon for Sunday.  (my first half and my first trail run).

I am scolding you in a public forum for bringing an awesome race to light only 4 days before race day. Us married with kids people need more time than that. You are an evil trail race temptress

Jeez Bananatoes!!!
It's listed out on a bunch of sites! Heck, bring the kids... we can find them some mud to play in! But you're right, I AM an evil race temptress and a brain dead one too. It only occurred to me to list it here last night. Duh. Anyway, we also put on the Earth Day Challenge Marathon in late April. It's listed on Premier Races if you want the info...
