The 4thAnnual NC Marine Mud Run will take place on Saturday, June 1st, 2013. Jomeokee Park will be buzzing. The participants will be groaning and grunting. But more importantly, they'll be cheering...Cheering and helping each other through challenging obstacles and muddy pits. The course is an all-terrain race including mud holes, walls, trenches, and other obstacles that require crawling, climbing, jumping and determination.
Some people come to COMPETE, many just come to COMPLETE!
Do you have what it takes? We're waiting on you! Enlist now!
In 2010, a man brought a vision to his local Marine Corps League...Let's do a mud run to raise money for our local chapter, as well as various other programs. That dream came alive with the help of dedicated staff and volunteers.
The first event exceeded all expectations with 1500 runners participating and over 20 sponsors signing up to be part of a historic event. People have come from all across the US to participate in this event. Fun, Family, and Friends have dominated the event for it's first three years.
The annual event was created to raise money, awareness, and support for Marines and their families around Winston-Salem, NC and across the nation who have been wounded or killed while serving on active duty. Profits from the Mud Run are also used to support: The Wounded Warrior Project, Toys for Tots, USMC Youth Program, and Veterans Helping Homeless Veterans Heal.

- Bonding! You'll never be in another situation where total strangers now feel like your closest friends.
- You're looking for an excuse to throw out those grungy old running shoes.
- Remember splashing in mud puddles as a kid? Here's your chance to tune into your inner child and not only splash in them, but crawl through them.
- Running on pavement doesn't make that satisfyingly squishy sound.
- You're looking for another place to wear your Halloween costume, wedding dress, or plaid pants.
- You've heard about the therapeutic benefits of a mud bath, but a trip to a California spa is out of your budget.
- A fun event that requires being sloppy, helps our Marines AND offers a chance to win awards…it's a NO BRAINER!
