What about Costumes?: Many people have been
asking about whether or not they should wear a costume. For those
who've done mud run's in the past, it's quite common to see a number of
teams dressed up silly. We highly encourage it, so long as it
doesn't get in the way of your ability to race and that you don't mind
it getting muddy. Matter of fact, we've got a prize for the team
with the best costumes. Please do come in costume!
