The Regina region will host its first obstacle course race – Mudd, Sweat & Tears Regina on October 3, 2015. The course will be located at Beaver Creek Ranch in Lumsden, located 31 km northwest of the city of Regina.
“Regina residents know how to dig in and persevere in challenges, so hosting an obstacle course race feels like a natural fit in the area,” said Michael Fougere, Mayor of Regina. “We are well-known for our high quality of life, and our residents are always thrilled to see new and different activities and forms of entertainment to help bolster that.”
John Reed, President and Founder of Mudd, Sweat & Tears said, “we’re very pleased to be coming to Regina! The people are amazing and the terrain at Beaver Creek Ranch will make for a fun and challenging course, with good elevation, variety and lots of twists and turns.... not to mention mud!”
Mudd, Sweat & Tears Regina offers both a 5km and 10km obstacle mud run to choose from. The course has a variety of challenges to navigate while running in the beautiful terrain of Lumsden. To help prepare for the challenge, many gyms in Regina are offering a program to train for the run.
John Lee, President & CEO of Tourism Regina said, “New events provide an opportunity to showcase the region to a different audience that might not have been exposed to us in the past. We’re incredibly excited to have Mudd, Sweat & Tears here.”
Founded by Adventure Architects, a professional sports marketing and event management company, the race is a one day spectator friendly event, that challenges runners with a number of obstacles including: ropes, climbing walls, steep ascents, ice baths and mud. The goal of the race is to finish.
