USMC Ultimate Challenge Mud Run

OohRah! Do you have what it takes? Well, prove it on Saturday, April 11, starting at 8:30 a.m., by participating in the Ultimate Challenge Mud Run, hosted at Leatherneck Course, designed by a former Marine drill instructor to challenge each team mentally and physically. The 6.2 mile all-terrain course features 36 military obstacles, which include mud holes, walls and trenches. Other Mud Run course challenges include swimming, crawling, climbing and jumping. The Greater Columbia Marine Foundation, a nonprofit organization, sponsors the Mud Run annually to raise money to support Marines and their families from the Columbia area that have been wounded or killed while serving on active duty. Profits from the race are also used to support several local college scholarships named after Marines killed serving their country and local events that promote the Marine Corps in the community. Participants must be 14 years of age or older to compete, and each team must have one member that is over the age of 18. Each participant will receive a free digital download of his/her team’s finish picture.

Cost: $250/team of four; $150/team of two; special JROTC discount available. Times: 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Location: The Leatherneck Course: 1215 Valley Ridge Rd., Gaston, S.C. For more information, call 803-477-0541, email [email protected] or visit UltimateChallengeMudRun.org.
