This preblast contains all the Area 51/SOB/ UC PAX need to know about the 2016 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 around 6 miles with 30 some obstacles. Obstacles are pretty evenly spread out throughout the course with obstacles about every 1/5th of a mile.
When: Saturday, 30th April, 2016 at the Leatherneck course near Columbia, SC.
How: 1. Go to the main eventbrite to register https://f3mudrunspring2016.eventbrite.com to register. Individuals register on your own – not as a team. Register by March 1, 2015. Select South Charlotte as your region. Registration is $55. Strawberry will handle transportation. It normally runs $35- $40 per person. Sundries and drinks for the bus ride are on your own (no hard liquor please). The F3 Beer Boat will be at the race.
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.
- Once you have registered, send YHC an email at chip.testerman@gmail.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.

Why: Because it’s Completely Stupid And Utterly Pointless (CSAUP) and most of your other Area 51/SOB/UC brothers will be participating. The 2nd F component is even more fun than the race. If you can post to an hour long workout you can complete this race.
