Minnewashta Mud Run reserves the right to delay the start of the event or to cancel the event. The safety of all participants is our primary concern. While we recognize the aspirations and commitment of those that have prepared for the event, we will make decisions about the event based on the participation population as a whole. Conversations that could lead to the cancellation of the event will be made in cooperation with local law enforcement. In the event of a forced cancellation of Minnewashta Mud Run, the financial impact on the event would be the same as if it were held. Refunds or future credits will not be given if the event is cancelled.

In the event of inclement weather, the Mud Run will be rescheduled to Sunday, July 12.

The mud is spread throughout the course in the form of pits that racers can choose to splash in or skip if they wish. Since our run is family friendly, our challenges score higher on the fun factor and lower on the risk factor.
