The first Mudder’s Day Madness Mud Run held at Montvale took place the day before Mother’s Day 2013. Some things change, others stay the same, and the best things just get better. Join us this year for the 13th annual Mud Run on the day before Mother’s Day, May 10th, 2025!
This event includes over twenty different obstacles, rolling trails on a marked course, and even a dip in the lake! From Adversity Hill to the Tire Traverse and the A-Frame Climb, runners 8+ years old can sign up to race independently or with a team. Costumes are encouraged and the most creative could even win an award! Vendors, music, and refreshments will be onsite for participants and their fans, friends, and families to enjoy along with the beautiful views.
We love to keep things exciting and fun, so in addition to our 5K course (with brand new obstacles added), we’ve also added our first ever Fun Run for anyone 4+ years old! This Fun Run will take place right after the 5K, will be a bit over a mile long, and will include several of our obstacles. How fun!
The money raised from the event will support Harmony’s therapeutic programming at Camp Montvale which includes our equine therapy program and therapeutic camps for foster and adoptive children and families.
