The Heroes Mud Run 5K - Aurora

• Only $27 for adult entry into Heroes Mud Run (regularly $55).
• Heroes Mud Run takes place on Saturday, May 25th at Marmion Academy and Abbey Farms in Aurora, Il.

If you're gonna take the time to get in shape, you might as well get dirty while doing it. Literally, dirty. Very dirty. The Heroes Mud Run is a 5K run that has a little bit of everything. First off, you'll run 3.1 miles through muddy, rugged terrain, overcoming 12 different obstacles along the path. You'll slip, slide, hop and skip to the finish line, and you'll be absolutely covered in mud. The proceeds from the run are then donated to our heroes - the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (in conjunction with local firefighters) and the Heart Of A Marine Foundation (proudly serving all branches and members of the U.S. Armed Forces). Waves of runners are sent from the starting gates at 9am, with new waves sent every twenty minutes. After the race, you can relax with food and refreshments while enjoying some music and the great weather. What better way to spend the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend by supporting your heroes, getting in shape, and getting dirty all at the same time.
