I’ve been wanting to do a mud run similar to the type of race they do in Camp Pendleton (tons of dirt, obstacle course and usually a small team sign up) and have noticed that a lot of new ones have sprung up in Southern California. Now this is definitely a racing trend band wagon I will gladly jump right on top of. The only question is – which race should I do? Check these out:

Down and Dirty National Mud Run Series (April 25, 2010) 10k trail race with military obstacles.

Irvine Lake Mud Run (April 10, 2010) 5K trail race with 8 obstacles.

Warrior Dash (April 10, 11, 2010) 5K mud race with obstacles.

Eco Mud Run Tour (April 25, 2010) 5K trail race. Tire obstacles, walls, net crawl throughs.

Muddy Buddy (November 7, 2010) from the Competitor peeps, two person teams, one bike portion and trail run.

Camp Pendleton Mud Run (June 5, 6, 12 2010) the original gangsta of mud runs in Southern California. 10k obstacle run with mud walls, tunnel crawls and pit. Race alone or on team of 5.

At the moment, I’m leaning towards the Muddy Buddy (just need to find a buddy… oh and a bike). That’s only because April is not the best month for racing for me with my current race schedule. From the looks of it, April is definitely a good season for mud in L.A. (who knew?)
