Notes from the pit : 2009 Camp Pendleton Mud Run

by surfponto 6/12/2009

The Camp Pendleton Mud Run never fails to disapoint.

Both Saturday and Sunday's races had HUGE turnouts. Rumor has it that Saturday's race was oversold by 500 entries, which judging by the crowd was probably correct.

The Mud Run attracts some serious athletes as well as those that are just there to have a good time.  To put it in perspective, the fastest time on Sunday's course was 41:09 while the slowest time was over 2 hours. So whether you are there to beat everyone in you age group or just there to roll around in the mud, I highly recommend signing up for this race.

Our crew put in some excellent times this year so I guess we fall into the serious category Smile.  We also had a couple of "Mud Virgins" this time around who vowed they would return next June to better their times.

Hilights of last weekends Mud Runs

  • Slight course change, no tires or hay bales but a detour around "Combat Town" was added as well as a river crawl on Saturday.
  • Kaiel placed 2nd in the 19 and under Boots & Utes division on Saturday
  • Bob placed 1st in the 45-49 Open division for all three Mud Run Days
  • Gary on his first Mud Run placed 4th in his age group.
  • Tom R. won the Boots & Utes divison overall on Sunday
  • Dave drawing the ringers in his age group on Sunday, who unfortunately for Dave, dominated the overall field.
