In time, more people began to join and the
group started creating an identity that had
and has been attracting more people over
and over. Acceptance, support, kindness,
and competition all became ideals that
MudRunFun began to idealize as the group
has grown stronger and stronger with a force.
To be able to represent not only the
individuals of the
group, but also create
a voice for all those
joining the OCR
that want a good,
quality challenge
that very well
shows the firsttime competitor
something new
about themselves.
Being with
MudRunFun is
not the normal
group setting.
When the group
is together en
masse, you feel a sense of belonging in a
way that no groups can match. The desire to
be around each member is compounded by
the fact that everyone is trying to attain the
same goals and that is to be the best they could
possibly be by starting at the Start line and
finishing at the Finish line with laughter, love,
and camaraderie.
It does not matter if you are an elite runner
in the best shape of your life or beginning on
your fitness journey. MudRunFun appeals to
everyone at every level because we all know
that in the end, it is all about being not only
the best person you can be. It all comes from
the heart as MudRunFun members know
that helping others is the
best way to be elite all
around. Sometimes, as a
MudRunFun member,
you’ll find yourself
on a course, helping
someone stuck on a
wall that is afraid
of heights. You
may find yourself
pushing someone
through that is
in a wheelchair.
Why would
you do this?
Because that is
exactly what we do
and why we do it.
We love our competition,
we love winning our awards and finishing
medals and are impassioned about this sport.
But the reality of what makes us who we are
is who we can help to make a better person at
the end of the day.
