taking on Emerald

Does running, crawling and wading through five kilometres of mud over, around and through obstacles sound like your idea of an amazingly fun time? An energised group of participants from the Whitsundays including myself thought so this past weekend!
Pink ladies in tutus, flying pig men with capes, babes in bikinis, warriors on the hunt, crime fighting wonder women, a couple of apprentices and fierce SAS soldiers headed in for the mission. Add in one viking bus driver and an errant water bearing volunteer and the adventure was complete.
There were no winners or losers in this event held in Emerald, just lots of excitement, buzz and winning attitudes alongside six hundred other like minded mud loving people in a spectacular array of costumes.

All teams tackled obstacles such as Pits of Pain, Dirty Mud Challenge, Bum Mud Slide (everyone’s fave?), Black Torture and the Tower of Triumph - all in the name of charity.

The finish line sign greeted us all "As long as you’re breathing, you’re not failing". Everyone certainly succeeded! Congratulations to all MUDrunners for finishing - such amazing effort and fantastic team work, spirit and camaraderie. Bring on the next challenge! Ann.
