Potential Dangers of "Mud Runs"

Searching for Tony Weathers

The latest craze in the running world seem to all involve

mud and obstacles - some tough, some ridiculous, some just plain stupid.

All of these races have the potential to be a fun way to spice up your training

and make for a fun day out with your buddies.  

More and more stories like the one above (click the image)

are starting to pop up - people being paralyzed, drowning, and 

suffering many other types of serious injuries.

Be sure you know what you are getting into when you sign 

up for these races, and make sure it is a reputable company putting

them on.  These can be lots of fun when the proper safety measures are 

in place.
