Welcome to Thomas Falls' 11th Annual March Madness Mud Run being held on March 30. 2024! The Run will start promptly on time*. This is a true competition. The participants vary in athletic levels. We prefer those that are interested only in the fun of attending a mud run and understand that finishing first is not their only priority, yield to the participants that are here competing strictly to win. The course is very challenging, and if you are not extremely physically fit, winning will not be a realistic goal.

We will have an After Party where every participant can enjoy lunch & our runners can participate in our FREE Zip-Line Water Plunge Lines! (A small fee applies for any guests that want to zip-line.)

Thank you,
Thomas Falls Staff

*According to the participation rate, we will reserve the right to adjust start times to allow for fair course participation.
