Mud Run and Swamp Romp to benefit Habitat for Humanity
Posted by Charles Rash on Mon, Jul 25, 2011 @ 09:51 AM
The second annual Chattanooga Mud Run to benefit Habitat for Humanity will be taking place at Greenway Farms on Saturday, August 20th. That same evening, a low country boil and concert will take place during the nonprofit's second fundraiser of the day, the all new Swamp Romp inside the First Tennessee Pavilion.
The mud run is a team-based 5K race through dirt mounds, wall mounts and mud pits staged throughout the natural landscape of the farm.
Slippery hills and military grade obstacles have been added this year to make things more interesting, according to organizers.
Registration is limited to the first 400 five person-teams to sign up. That is nearly twice as many teams than participated last year, but the group hopes the money raised will be far more than double.
Lamb said the Swamp Romp has been added this year as a totally separate event that will also be used as a fundraiser on the same day. Participants of the mud run can attend at a discounted admission price, but the Swamp Romp is open to anyone who would enjoy zydeco music and a fresh low-country boil.
The evening includes yard games like corn hole and ladder golf, the low-country boil dinner by Petunia’s Silver Jalapeno; and music by Lon Eldridge, the W.T.M. Blues Band, and Zydeco legend C.J. Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band.
