The Delaware Mud Run is a 5K (approximately 3 miles) race with boot camp style obstacles that have been surrounded by or consisting of mud. People cheer as teams of contestants slip, slide, and slosh their way to victory. The best part - ALL proceeds benefit the Leukemia Research Foundation of Delaware.

When you sign up, you can sign up for whichever heat you'd like. However, each heat, will have a % next to it which references to how FULL the heat is. If you are planning to sign up with friends that are on another team and haven't signed up yet, it's not recommended to sign up for a heat that is 95% full. You're better off signing up for the heat that is 45% full. This way, your lazy friends from a different team will have a better chance of getting into your heat. Please arrive at least two hours prior to your heat. You will be grouped 20 minutes prior to start of your heat.

Depending on the heat you are in, you will have a colored bib!! This way, if you are supposed to run at 10:20am, the color of your bib will tell you and us if you are in the right heat.

You will not be permitted to run in any other heat except for the one that matches your colored bib. No Exceptions! This is for your safety as well as the safety of others!

The Delaware Mud Run is for regular people, civil servants, companies, colleges and military personnel. Teams of Four can participate in the male, female, or Co-Ed (must have one member of the opposite sex) division. But, you must be 14 years of age or older. (Individual participation is available in the male or female categories, for $50 per individual.)

Captains are in charge of their team. They do it all, from pick the name of the team to register all the members. First, they must ensure all team members register prior to September 8^thwhen registration closes. They also accept the responsibility of paying for your team and inviting three friends to join. The captain is also the only one who can purchase Preferred Parking Passes, limit 2 per team! If you must make a substitution for one of you teammates, please do so by May 31st to avoid any last minute confusion for us all!

It is up to you to do the proper training to ensure you are healthy enough to run. It is recommended you check with your doctor before signing up to ensure you are cleared by a trained professional to participate.

Remember, most of the race will be through mud and obstacles, so be ready!
