Get ready for a day of messy mayhem and unforgettable fun at the Muddy Dash - Pensacola, set to challenge and delight participants on May 9, 2026, in Milton, FL. This isn't your average 5K; it's an exhilarating obstacle course designed to bring smiles and leave you fabulously filthy. The course spans "a few miles of fun," inviting runners, walkers, crawlers, waders, slippers, and sliders through approximately a dozen "Muddy Moments." You can expect inventive obstacles like walls, ropes, and monkey bars, all integrated into the unique terrain, with mud pits that won't exceed waist-deep, so no swimming is required.

The Muddy Dash prioritizes camaraderie and enjoyment over competition, welcoming costumes and offering rolling start times to ensure a relaxed and spread-out experience for all participants. Along the course, two water-only aid stations will be available to help you stay hydrated, one at the halfway mark and another at the finish line. Typical race day conditions in May feature highs around 84F and lows around 65F, with a 12% chance of precipitation, promising warm, potentially damp, but certainly muddy, weather.

Your adventure doesn't end at the finish line; a vibrant post-race celebration awaits, complete with food and beer vendors, live music, giveaways, and plenty of photo opportunities to capture your muddy accomplishments. Every participant earns a finisher's medal and undeniable bragging rights. Packet pickup takes place the day prior, May 8th, from 4 PM to 8 PM at Adventure Unlimited (8974 Tomahawk Landing Rd, Milton, FL 32570), with a race day option for a small fee. Remember to bring cash for potential parking charges and bag check.
