My girlfriends and I did the 2015 Mudderella mud run. Overall it was ok. We had a good time but there were some definite drawbacks.
What is it? Mudderella is a women only a 5+ mile obstacle run featuring around 15 obstacles (at the time of our run)
Pros: There were a lot of obstacles and variety amongst them. You will be climbing walls, crawling through mud, running up mud hills and sliding into mud water. There are professional photographers onsite to take shots of you in action. The photos are free and usually available within a few days. Lastly, there is an after party with music, giveaways and one free beer included with you ticket purchase.
Cons: The $100+ ticket price is ridiculous even with a free t-shirt, medal and beer. There are too many people and not enough photographers so if you want a good photo you better try to get the photographers attention. One of the foam obstacles I believe it was called the car wash-did not even foam because they ran out of water. The rinsing stations were overly crowded and they also ran out of water. Luckily we brought gallons of water with us to rinse our bodies off.
Would I do it again? Yes, but I would purchase discounted tix, book an earlier wave to make sure they don't run out of water and pay for a spectator pass to have someone take photos. read more
