<\/a><\/p>\nAt Your First Mud Run, participants navigate a fun and challenging two-mile course on the Levitt Pavilion Lawn and PNC Plaza that features as many as 10 obstacles including a 6-foot-high wall, 50 old tires, a set of tubes, heavy jump ropes, mud pit, cargo net and a secret obstacle. The event is ideal for families, with children as young as age 5 able to take part. It\u2019s also a great test run for first-timers training for tougher, more challenging mud races like a Spartan, Tough Mudder or Warrior Dash. During the Mud Run, children get to run the same course side by side with their parents and all runners get a finisher\u2019s medal and t-shirt.<\/p>\n
A portion of all proceeds from Your First Mud Run will be donated\u00a0to ArtsQuest. In addition, participants can also create a \u201cTeam Page\u201d and use it to raise funds for any charity, school or team.<\/p>\n
