Race Rules:

What would a race be without some rules and here are ours for the New Harmony Fire Mud Run

1.      Race in a competitive, safe and courteous manner. Treat fellow runners, spectators and event staff as you want to be treated. Out here the golden rule doesn’t mean he who has the gold rules.

2.      No cheating the course. This is a race to each obstacle, if there is a line at the obstacle, do not go around it. Bypassing obstacles will disqualify you from an award position.

3.      All team members must complete the entire race and each obstacle, must cross the finish line together. Failure to do so will disqualify the team from an award position

4.      Stay on the marked course, we won’t cut through your backyard, please don’t cut through ours

5.      Have Fun, get wet, get muddy, the dirtier the better. This isn’t a beauty pageant out here the more mud you take home in your shoes and shorts the better.
