Mad Anthony Mud Run
Run The Valley

Mad Anthony himself would have been extremely proud of the participants of the Inaugural Mad Anthony Mud Run!  With a chill in the air and the wind steadily blowing, the courageous runners battled our course filled with tires, balance beams and don’t forget the treacherous swamp and darkened tunnel.  Taking home first place for the men was Ryan Gundling from Staunton Virginia with a smoking time of 26:27.  For the ladies, Mary Kreis of Belle Vernon Pennsylvania won with a time of 34:38.  The challenge was accepted by nearly 200 brave souls…will you join them in 2013?

The Battles

Battle of Monmouth: Tire Pit

Through the bravery of the General Mad Anthony Wayne, the Americans were able to push through the failed first attack and rally themselves which built their confidence.  At the tire pit, you will find yourself building confidence running through tires hoping not to get your feet tangled at this first battle.

Battle of Green Spring: Balance Beam
Heavily outnumbered and British soldiers surrounding them, the General Mad Anthony reformed his line and they charged in unison through the swampy terrain with bayonets fixed!  Battle 2 brings a balance beam suspended over mud, testing your balance and coordination.

Battle of Brandywine:  Scale the Wall

Mad Anthony tried to rally his troops to prove they could stand against the British- outnumbered he was unable to make a stand and had to retreat.  With a mere 6 foot wall standing in your way, will you retreat?

Battle of Stony Point: Hay Bale Climb

Know as "the most brilliant victory of "Mad Anthony's" career", General Wayne led his troops to capture the elevated & heavily fortified position through the dead of the night.  The hay bale climb will meet you with force as you try to scale up and over the massive barrier on your way to victory.

Battle of Fallen Timbers: Log Challenge

With the Native American’s taking a defensive position where trees had blown over, Mad Anthony led his rigorously prepared troops to victory.  Our advice to you, prepare to go over and under the fallen timbers that want to annihilate you!
