PIG TRAIL MUD RUN – June 1, 2013
SOOOEEEEE! Calling all PIGS! Come wallow in the mud with other swine, sows and pork lovers at the Pig Trail Mud Run, sponsored by the Springdale Rotary Club. If you’re a pig who thinks getting wet and dirty sounds fun and you and your piggy pals love to be mentally and physically challenged, then the Pig Trail Mud Run is the race for you.
Come on – get off the couch, train a little, and join the Pig Trail Mud Run for a day that you’ll only be able to describe as “A Muddy BLAST!” This race promises to be more fun than a barrel of pickled pigs’ feet.
And plan to stick around for more fun, to pig out on food and beer and enjoy some great entertainment at our PIG party. Or, if you don’t like that idea of getting off the couch to prepare for the race, come on out and join the party anyway.
This muddy mess is a fundraiser for the Springdale Rotary Club to help pay for the organization’s many local, national, and international projects. A portion of all registration and other fees is tax-deductible.
VENUE
The Pig Trail Mud Run is on an undeveloped, rustic portion of the Ecclesia College campus in Springdale, Arkansas. Located in the beautiful Arkansas Ozarks, the course features extreme hills, underbrush and lots of trees, a stream bed and ponds. And that’s before you factor in the ultra-challenging obstacles you’ll have to navigate to complete this 5K race. You may even see a wild boar!
Interesting Facts About the Pig Trail Mud Run Venue:
- The Pig Trail Mud Run is on land located between two Civil War camps. The Confederate camp was less than a mile south and the Union camp was a mile north of our venue.
- The longest chicken house in the world was once located on the Pig Trail Mud Run site. (We say: It would have made a great hog house.) Unfortunately the brick chicken house was destroyed by a tornado in the 1970’s.
