Let it be known I’ve never done a mud run. My idea of badassery does not involve barbed wire or leaping over fire pits. While I’m not averse to the idea of one of those furry Norse warrior helmets complete with horns, I always seem to be in some stage of training that makes me wanna roll up in the proverbial bubble wrap instead. Translation: I don’t want to get injured or singed before my fall marathon.
Enter Pretty Muddy. A brand spanking new race just for us girls that’s a little, um, more refined. Yes, there’s mud. Lots of it. But mud’s a great pore detoxifier you know. It’s a 5k course with architectural obstacles. There’s no time clock so you can go as fast or slow as you want. Go ahead and walk…or prance…or dance. It’s all good! The fun is topped off with an epic finish line party complete with music, drinks and plenty of celebration.
I wish I could say wine was involved in this photo session. But no. I’m just that weird.
Join me September 15th for the Chicago area’s first Pretty Muddy 5k!

I love getting down and dirty but barbed wire, etc. is not my thing! would love to do this run!
This sounds like it would be a fun race.
About to embark on my first Mud Run in a few weeks with a girl friend & her hubby! I just know its gonna be a blast & full of teamwork & mud! My first gals race was this year in Hawaii (Wahine Divas half) & it was so cool to be surrounded by awesome/ fit women! I would love to run Pretty Muddy and get a fun bunch of my friends to join in! So stoked!
Sounds like a really fun race to do with a group of your girlfriends.
I there is not time limit to finish this down and dirty mudd fun. It is on my list of things to do. I would love to do this one.
I have been very intrigued by these races. A friend of mine just did one and said that I have no choice to do it with her next year! 🙂
Wish I lived closer. I would definitely do this, sounds fun! I actually have never done one of these types of races, but one especially for women would be great!
This sounds like SO much fun! I’d love to do this one!
I haven’t gotten muddy since Tough Mudder but I think the idea of gearing a messy adventure race to women is pretty cool!
YES! I want to win! I love playing in the mud! 🙂
Well, crap. I just looked again at the date, and I’m actually already doing an obstacle race that day. Never mind. :-/
Marcia! you look so pretty in the above photo. I’m in Canada so delete my comment but I just wanted you to know that I love it 🙂 and your hair. I love the two-toned/rogue style 😉 it really does look nice!
My daughter is signed up for the race and I’d love to do it with her!
