Down And Dirty Mud Run Benefits Group That Helps People Stay Clean

October 13, 2013

Over 1,000 people got down and dirty Saturday in Cantonment as they climbed, crawled, waded and sloshed their way through the Cantonment mud in the Pensacola Mud Run.  The proceeds from the event benefit Pathways for Change, a nonprofit committed to keeping people clean –  clean from drugs and crime free.

The Pensacola Mud Run was an untimed obstacle course designed to push participants slightly out of their comfort zones. The start and finish were on 117 acres specifically developed for event next to the St. Matthews Baptist Church on Highway 95A in Cantonment.

The three mile loop included a dozen professional designed obstacles, ranging from balance beams across three feet of muddiness, rope walls, mudslides, military crawl through the mud, ice pits, dirt moguls, tires, haystack climbs and more.

The event also included a big surprise for one young lady as her muddy boyfriend proposed..and she said yes.
