Marine Corps League Mud Run hosted by the Percy John Fulton Detachment of Winston Salem

Prepare for an unforgettable day of grit, camaraderie, and exhilarating challenges at the 16th Annual Marine Corps League Mud Run, hosted by the Percy John Fulton Detachment of Winston Salem, on Saturday, June 6, 2026. Held at the scenic Jomeokee Park and Campground in Pinnacle, NC, this event promises the "dirtiest fun you'll ever have". Runners can tackle a muddy 5K course filled with obstacles, hill climbs like the formidable "Mount Sarabachi," mud pits, fire hoses, and even a long slip and slide. For younger adventurers, a 1200M "Pollywog Kids Race" offers a tailored course, ensuring fun for the whole family. Typical race day conditions in early June see highs around 83F and lows around 60F, with a 17% chance of precipitation – perfect for adding to the natural mud!

What truly sets this race apart is its spirit of perseverance and support, embodying the Marine Corps creed that "no runner will be left behind". Marines are stationed along the course to assist participants, and a medical team is on-site to ensure safety. As you conquer obstacles often named after Marine Corps history, you'll be part of a vibrant atmosphere that awards prizes for best costumes and team names. Afterward, rinse off the grime at the unique "human car wash" featuring fire hoses provided by the Pinnacle Fire Department, followed by changing tents.

Beyond the personal challenge and muddy fun, every stride taken at the Marine Corps League Mud Run supports a noble cause. This charitable event raises crucial funds that remain in North Carolina, benefiting veterans and local charities like the Wounded Warrior Battalion-East. Whether you're a seasoned mud warrior or a first-timer seeking an adventure, this race offers an unforgettable experience for all participants at Jomeokee Park and Campground.
