TATUR Mud Run – The Wet and Wild 2010 Results

Music – Family Fun – Costume Contest – Beer – Obstacles – Lots of mud and a bit of running too!
A less than two mile run has never looked more fun than the always crazy TATUR Mud Run.
Last weekend, this Tulsa, Oklahoma event brought out the crazies and for a good cause, with proceeds benefiting the Oklahoma Firefighter’s Burn Camp (A five day camp for children that are burn victims).
With sunny skies and highs in the 90s, a bit of mud never sounded so good…and apparently a very special day for weddings!

The Course
Location – The Mud Bowl
Two options – The adult long course (1.38 miles) or the children’s short course (~ 1 km).
Running? For some, yes. For most, a darn good core workout.
Obstacles and mud a plenty!
Beware of the shoe monster!
A few of the obstacles included:
- The Slip and Slide – 45 foot long slide down a hill with a mud pit waiting at the bottom.
- The Hill Climb – Cargo rope up a muddy, gooey hill.
- The Tire dive – Dive through the tire. You can guess what is on the other side.
- Terrible Tank Traps – Three consecutive giant pools of mud.
- and more mud, more obstacles, more fun!
