Thank You







We would like to thank everyone who participated in the 16th Annual USMC Mud Run! We had 1800 teams compete which well exceeded the attendance from 2008 (1200 teams in 2008). This year's event was a huge success because of the many groups who came together to support and welcome home our Marines at this year's event. We are proud to have your continued support and hope you will join us in 2010!



Are you ready to get dirty?







Every year in September the Greater Columbia Marine Foundation hosts the largest Mud Run in the Southeast. The race attracts thousands of people from all over the Southeast and beyond. The Ultimate Challenge Mud Run is over 4.2 miles, and has 30 obstacles that have to be crossed by each team requiring team work and a lot of determination. The 4.2 mile course is an all-terrain race conducted on dirt roads, improved and unimproved trails through the training area. These trails include mud holes, walls, trenches and other obstacles that require swimming, crawling, climbing and jumping. Some people come to compete, but many come just to complete!

Mud Run is on Facebook. Go to and join Mud Run. It is under Mud Run, Columbia, SC.
