Four Marine Moms braved these two events and collectively raised over $2,800 for Marine Parents outreach services. All four ladies exceeded their fundraising goals!
Both Mud Run events are challenging running races with hills and obstacles such as river crossings, 5 foot walls with mud on both sides, tunnel crawls, slippery hill climbs, lots of mud pits and Marines with fire hoses!
Here are a few comments about the events from our daring participants:
“I have even more respect for what our Marines do. I did this in comfortable clothes, but to do this in full gear?! I wouldn’t have made it a mile…”
“One of my highlights was high fiving the Sgt Major coming out of Lake O’Neill - he was telling me good job!”
“The final mud hill - Suicide Hill - I learned that I could really curse like a Marine!”
“It was the hardest thing I have ever done, other than giving birth. And like childbirth, you forget the pain and end up doing it again. Sign me up for next year!"
Marine Parents sincerely appreciates all the hard work and dedication our participants put into these events - from the personal training each individual endures to their enthusiastic fundraising efforts. You are making a difference!
