During the running of the Mighty Mud Obstacle course, several mud pits strategically placed, provide wet and really dirty obstacles as kids compete for the fastest time in each heat.

Mud puddle pools for the tiny tots, and a mini mud course for those six and younger are also highlights of the event. There are also water slides, sandcastle building and fun for all ages.

Moms and dads, remember to send your kids out with old clothes and shoes that lace up or Velcro closures. And have no fear, Scottsdale Fire Department is on hand to literally hose down the muddy children. Portable showers provided by sponsors are also available. Dont miss it!
