Good for a first run

My first mud run with 2 friends. It was all good until the end, the final slide had been running out of air and the puddle wasn't deep enough, I was the last person to slide down, my friends didn't get to do it as they didn't fix it and I killed my tailbone in the 'puddle'! The 'mud' was nothing more than ice cold water and some bark shavings thrown in. The real mud was on the course itself as it had rained the night before so we just splashed in the puddles to get dirty. Also no photographer or costume contest as promise on the web site. They were also outta XL shirts at check in by the time we ran at 11. We are doing it in ATL this year, hoping for a much better experience if they want us to keep coming back.

For Every Woman

My girlfriends and I had a blast at Dirty Girl last year and are all signed up to go again this year! There really are women of all fitness levels participating in Dirty Girl, all cheering each other on, from cancer survivors and families to friends and coworkers. A positive atmosphere with plenty of laughs...let go for a day at Dirty Girl! You can look on the website to see if your location has a venue set or not (what all the negative reviews seem to be about)...a great run, really well organized and FUN!

Great Fun!!

This was a great fun run! I created a team and three of my girlfriends participated with me. It can be competitive if you want it to but mostly it's just a fantastic time! One of my friends was even inspired to start working out more seriously. The event was well organized and had a wonderful atmosphere! It's so much fun! I laughed so hard my abs were sore! I highly recommend this run! The other people who gave reviews were mad about the location but they have directions to the site on their web page. You just have to look it up before you sign up. Be responsible people.

Dirty Business - Pick Another Run

Let's start with the basics - this race is nowhere near Raleigh. It's an hour and half to two hours from Raleigh, which their organizers continue to insist is in Raleigh (as above) because it meets their ridiculous 90 mile perimeter condition. When a large group of registrees objected to the venue selection, they insisted that this year's venue was still in Raleigh and was so great it was worth a 3-hour round trip drive, $30 in gas, and driving 90 miles home without a real shower after the event. Lucky us - they offered us 'free' parking to an event we had already paid $60 to attend. After exposing their bait-and-switch scam and poor customer service to a local TV news channel, the BBB, and multiple social media venues, they offered a large group of us refunds. But they are still refusing to give everyone a refund after changing the venue to one 90 miles away. Look at a map next time, people. When you make a mistake, fix it and don't try to placate us with 'free' parking.

Bait & Switch

The location was listed as TBD, but called the Raleigh run. On the location page, the Google Imagery pin was set for an address near the center of Raleigh. A month after I registered, they announced the address.........which is 88 miles away from the center of Raleigh. They said no refunds. They justified it by saying the FAQ section states the location could be 60-90 miles away. Many people cause an uproar. Plenty of complaints were posted to the FB page, but were deleted and people were blocked. The local news station did a report on it. I filed a complaint with the BBB and am now told I will be receiving a refund. There are several complaints about this happening in other locations........and now I see similar complaints here. I wish I read all of this ahead of time. The efforts to get a refund have been more challenging than the mud run!

VERY disappointed! After registering about 2,000 for Raleigh by Feb, (for May event) they announced the "Raleigh Mud Run" will be held near Greensboro, 90 miles away. Half way to Charlotte, where they held one last year. Is it too much to ask for them to not combine the costs for both? Articles state their goal was to contribute $250,000 to Bright Pink last year, and charitable contributions for cancer are wonderful, but many have been under the impression this was a non profit, or that much of the money was going for that.. Registrations range from $65 to $100, so at the 2.5% I previously saw they said they donate, that's $1.62 to $2.50 our of your fee! An article said 350,000 runners/yr, some get discounts, some are free, but that's $26,250,000 at an average $75 fee. And they're too cheap to keep the Raleigh Run in or near Raleigh? They've lost many, a large group is not going, we're off to check out others. I can understand "No refunds" for you just changing your mind, but not when they change the city, the date, and add 3 hours or more in travel time. I see they've done this before, in other places, read on.

Our team had a great time, much thanks to the group of women that we had! It was held in March and was about 38 degrees, which was certainly not so good. Some "mud" obstacles were totally dry, I heard it related to the weather? But we got soaked in the muddy water at the bottom of the slide, so I'm not sure why the other "mud" obstacles weren't set up. Rather expensive, many were under the impression a lot was going cancer research, when it's only like 2%, or $1.80 of your registration. Don't think there should be charges for parking at this rate either. Hoses behind sheets for cleanup afterwards, and at that temperature? I drove home partially changed, partially muddy.

Great event and SO FUN

I ran this for the second time in San Antonio and even though this year it was so cold (36 degreed) we still had a blast. The event is really well organized and they had heaters to help keep people warm but the cold didn't seem to bother anyone. I just thought it was a thoughtful touch.

I will say one thing, this is not a race. It's a fun run that is perfect for a team and groups of girls who just want a muddy, challenging obstacle course but not competitive run. Can't wait for year 3!

So disappointed this race was cancelled. Was looking forward to enjoying a muddy day with my daughter in law and fitness friends...

Review

I had a Great time at the race. I felt like the race could have been a little longer and a little bit more challenging. I signed up with a team of 40 woman for the New York location. When the race date was approaching they told us they changed the venue to New Jersey! New Jersey!!!! It took myself and my group 2 1/2 hours away to do the race. Not happy!
