2008 Annual Marine Mud Run

Here are some pictures from the mud run in Roanoke Virginia. I ran it with my buddy Justin who is getting in running shape for boot camp.

It took about three showers to get completely clean, but it was a great time.

Here are some pictures:

We wore our fitness platoon shirts. I thought it would make a better picture, but as you can see the design barely shows through the mud.

We hung around to watch the teams run later that day. Here are some teams low crawling through the mud pit.

MRUN4

Some teams wore costumes. Here is a picture of the "Wizard of Oz" team.

It was a very well run event. For anyone who wants to run it next year, here is a link to the site:

If you're on the west coast, there is a mud run next weekend:
