"The Muddy Buddy® Ride & Run Series is a unique mud-inspired team event experience, which has brought a new dimension to the sport of adventure racing. The series creates a national integrated marketing communications plan in key cities throughout the year. Each one-of-a-kind event creates regional promotional opportunities where sponsors can reach thousands of individuals in each market.





In 1998, CM Sports created the concept of the Muddy Buddy® Ride & Run Series. The event series started with four events in 1999 and has continued to grow each year. In 2005, the series will expand to seven U.S. cities, two international countries including Australia and Canada.




The race consists of teams of two running and mountain biking through 10 kilometers of trails, challenging obstacles and the infamous Muddy Buddy® mud pit. Partners must start and finish the course together while encountering transition areas on the course where the team members make their way over, under and through challenging obstacles.






MINI MUDDY BUDDY®





Mini Muddy Buddy® offers a chance for the little ones to get muddier than they ever have before! The race offers a short obstacle course before the kids enter the mud pit! The Mini Muddy Buddy® is free for kids, giving them a chance to come play in the mud with their friends, just like their parents in the race. Signups will be available onsite on race day. The Mini Muddy Buddy® is for kids 12 and under. All participants will receive their own Mini Muddy Buddy® T-shirt and custom finisher's medal!!"
