Mayo Mud Run is an exhilarating energy sapping but adrenaline pumping run starting on road but quickly you will be running/jogging/walking/crawling through fields, forest, water and drains!
This thrill-seeking adventurous course includes many natural obstacles set in the naturally rugged terrain of Moygownagh with mud being the common denominator.
Mayo Mud Run is a challenge for all fitness levels, the more hardcore experienced athletes will find this varied course a tough challenge. It will test their stamina and endurance. They will be looking to win the race or record a good time! Whereas the not so hardcore “occasional” athlete (the vast majority of entrants) will also be physically tested, all the while enjoying a dirty fun day out.
The competitor makes this course as hard or as easy they want! Mayo Mud Run can be enjoyed as part of a group (Discount for groups of 8+) or individually!
This is not just a fun day out, but a serious challenge for the International thrillseeker looking to put another mud splat on their CV…
