HOLIDAY VALLEY MUDSLIDE
Saturday, June 18 •10am
Holiday Valley Resort
The fifth annual Holiday Valley Mudslide
is a mud run that’s FUN. Yes, you’ll get
muddy, yes there is running, yes there
are 11 obstacles but NO fire, NO barbed
wire and NO electric shocks! The 3.5-mile
course starts at the top of the mountain
at Spruce Lake (they’ll even give you a
ride up on a chairlift) and runs along the
ridge-line then down the hill. The 5.4-mile
course adds a bit of uphill running, just in
case you’re feeling especially tough.
