The Del Mar Mud Run was created in 2010 when two companies, Millennium Events and VAVi Sport and Social Club, partnered up to bring a premier mud run event to San Diego. As mud runs were growing in popularity, we wanted to create one that was a different experience and more fun than the rest. We created a course with obstacles that are challenging, yet easy enough that anyone could complete the course regardless of fitness level. Each year we average around 18 obstacles through the 3.1 mile track that winds through the Historic Del Mar Fairgrounds. People gather from all over Southern California dressed in crazy costumes ready to dive head first into the mud pits with their teammates. After crossing the finish line, runners stick around listening to live entertainment and DJs, dancing, enjoying their free beer, and visiting the large vendor village filled with food, games and free swag. All runners receive a high quality finishers T-shirt, and the top individual runners and teams in each start time receive a top finisher medal. The Challenged Athletes Foundation Operation Rebound is the official beneficiary of the run. CAF Operation Rebound provides unparalleled sports opportunities and support to our troops and veterans of any branch of service who have suffered permanent physical injuries. We have been able to raise $30,000 so far through this event. The Del Mar Mud Run continues to grow in size and popularity each year. We started in 2010 with over 5,500 runners, 2011 had over 7,000 runners, and we will be expecting 10,000 for our 2012 run. The goal of the Del Mar Mud Run is to bring fun-seekers together for a day of dirty, costumed fun under the San Diego sun. Whether or not you are a runner, if you don’t mind getting a little muddy this event is something everyone can enjoy!

Course Description:

The course is designed to test your running, wading, jumping, climbing and balance skills throughout the mud intensive course! The multiple obstacles have been designed to provide a challenging and fun course for people of all ages!

Parking:

$9. Just like when you attend the Del Mar Fair or the racetrack, there’s a separate fee for parking. We tried to get this cost included for the Mud Run but we were unable to pull it off – the parking lot is managed separately and there are various other events occurring the same day. It pains us to say, but there is a $9 cost per car to park at the Del Mar Fairgrounds/Race Track complex. Furthermore, they only accept cash (yes….only the green stuff). WE HIGHLY ENCOURAGE CARPOOLING to reduce your per-person cost (plus it’s good for the environment!) And please remember to bring cash so the lines move fast!

Post Party:

Del Mar Mud Run MudFest! Live music, great food & beer. Vendor Village.

Other:

We issue each participant a timing chip that is attached to your shoe lace. The chip is encoded with your name, race number and other information and allows us to quickly and accurately determine your race time.

Please plan on arriving at the fairgrounds at least 1 hour prior to your race start time to park and get your bag checked in. Traffic will be heavy that day so please leave extra early and carpool if possible.

This event is proudly benefitting CAF, Challenged Athletes Foundation's® (CAF) Operation Rebound® program. This is the premier sports and fitness program for American military personnel, veterans and first responders with permanent physical disabilities. It provides unparalleled opportunities to pursue active, athletic lifestyles by offering access to funding for equipment and training and competition expenses, Military Medical Center Physical Training (MMCPT) and sports clinics.

A few things to keep in mind before you hit the mud...
Mud likes to steal your shoes via suction so please ensure that you have boots or a style of shoe that covers the ankle. Some participants will use duct tape over their running shoes to keep them on their feet.
Loose clothes will slow you down especially if you have pockets that will hold water and mud!
We highly encourage costume-wearing to make it even more fun!
A bag check will be available prior to the race for keys, wallets, cell phones, etc.
A change of clothes and a few towels for post race cleanup is highly recommended unless you are riding in someone else’s car…then don’t worry about it!
Please note: The Del Mar Mud Run is not responsible for any items lost on the course during the race, so please do not wear any valuable items, like jewelry.

Camping Info:

RV’s must arrive on Friday if they want to park in our RV lot. RV spaces are $30 per space/night & spaces are 1st come 1st serve. If the fairgrounds get an RV on Saturday they have an alternate location to park, however it is not in the start line area & may not be as much fun. Due to other shows taking place at the event space, we expect the RV spaces to be very full. Please plan accordingly.

Camping Pricing:

$30
