Area 51 – 2015 Spring Mud Run: Bus and Sundries

Update: Bus and Sundries (aka. Beer and Snacks) – Payment Due 4/8

For the convenience of the Area 51 PAX, we have arranged transportation to the Spring Mud run on April 11th. The bus ride mosey back and forth to Columbia is almost as much fun as the mud run itself. The cost of the bus and sundries will be split between all the Area 51 PAX riding the bus to the race. Cost of the bus is $30 per PAX and the cost of the sundries is $15 per PAX for a total of $45 per man, each must be paid in separate payments using the 2 separate links below (sorry, It was the bests YHC could do). Payments are due Wednesday April 8th (NO EXCEPTIONS).

Please do the following steps to complete payment by April 8^th.

Step 1 – Click here to pay $30 for the bus. Please make sure you select the South Charlotte/Area 51 bus.

Step 2 – Click here to pay $15 for the sundries.

Let me know if you have any questions.

This preblast is contains all the Area 51 PAX need to know about the 2015 Spring Mud Run.

What: The Ultimate Challenge Mud Run is the F3 Nation “Super Bowl,” only better because it happens twice a year. The course is a 6.2 mile run with 36 obstacles. Obstacles are pretty evenly spread out throughout the course with obstacles about every 1/5^th of a mile.

When: Saturday, April 11th, 2015 at the Leatherneck course near Columbia, SC.

How: Train….. The best way to be ready is to train. Running workouts are best, but should be mixed with boot camps and gear workouts.

Start by posting at The Brave on Friday mornings at 0515 @ The Vine Restaurant in Ballantyne. The Brave is an hour long running and obstacle training workout designed specifically for training the PAX for the Mud Run.

Other running workouts to consider:

Fast Twitch – Tuesday @ South Charlotte Middle School

Swift – Tuesday @ The Vine Restaurant in Ballantyne

Devils Turn – Thursday @ Four Mile Creek Greenway (Parking Lot corner of Rea Road and Bevington Place)

Why: Because it’s Completely Stupid And Utterly Pointless (CSAUP) and most of your other Area 51 brothers will be participating.

1. Go to the main F3 Mud Run Preblast here to register. Individuals register on your own – not as a team. Register by March 1, 2015. Registration is $55. We’ll handle transportation and sundries later, but it normally runs $40-$50 per person. Champagne and Hopper are the Sundries Qs this Spring.

Registration is considered a “hard commit” with no guarantee of refund should you be unable to compete, even if your slot is filled by a free agent (see below). If you register and cannot meet your commitment, it’s your responsibility to your team and your Region to find a replacement.

2. Once you have registered, send YHC an email at dgoldberg1838@yahoo.com letting me know if you are part of a full four-man team already or if you need help forming a team. The email should include your Team Name and the F3 Name, Hospital Name and the Email Address of each man on the team. Note: If your team has an FNG, use the F3 name “FNG”.

YHC will be maintaining a Free Agents list to assist will building 4 man teams. The updated list can be found here.

The current list of teams can be found here.
