Get ready to dive into the ultimate fun-filled challenge at the Muddy Dash - New Jersey, hitting the trails on August 8, 2026! Hosted at the dynamic New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, NJ, this 5K mud run promises an unforgettable day of getting "fabulously filthy" without the pressure of competition. Typical race day conditions in early August bring highs around 86°F and lows around 66°F, with a 14% chance of precipitation, setting the perfect stage for a refreshing, muddy adventure.

The Muddy Dash course is designed for maximum enjoyment, featuring up to three miles of diverse terrain where you'll run, walk, crawl, wade, slip, and slide through a variety of engaging obstacles. Expect to navigate through mud pits that are generally no deeper than waist-deep, tackle walls, ropes, and monkey bars, and conquer other unique challenges tailored to the venue's landscape. While the specific obstacles can evolve each year, the focus remains on fun and camaraderie. Aid stations stocked with water are strategically placed along the course, typically at the halfway point and the finish line, to keep you hydrated as you embrace the messy mayhem.

What truly sets the Muddy Dash apart is its vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere where costumes are highly encouraged and smiles are guaranteed. This event is less about timing and more about creating muddy memories, with rolling start times to ensure a smooth, uncrowded experience. Beyond the course, a lively post-race celebration festival awaits, complete with food and beverage vendors, live music, giveaways, and plenty of photo opportunities to capture your triumphant, mud-splattered moments. A portion of the proceeds also supports charities battling childhood cancer, adding an extra layer of meaning to your muddy escapade.
