This blog post is written by our lovable Operations guy, Adam Lueck - he's the guy that makes things happen at all of the Vail Valley Foundation events! His other name is Dr. Mud.
After three years of trial and error, I think I finally have
the perfect receipt for mud. Hours upon hours were spent pouring over mud
wrestling websites to find the elusive mixture. Just the right amount of
this and that and a little water to produce a slippery, gooey, messing
mud! Yes I did finally find the perfect mixture. I hopped in the
truck this morning and drove 120 miles to a somewhat shady looking warehouse to
pick up 400 pounds of the secret ingredient. The warehouse guys loaded me
up and I drove back to Vail and tested it out. One cup of the super
material and 10 cups of water produced the best mud I have ever seen short of
that one mud wrestling site.

This year’s Eddie Bauer Mud Run will be like no other.
We have a new location in Golden Peak that puts the 24’x24’ mudpit on a smooth
and level surface. Combine that will a run over some real obstacles this
year and you have the making for an epic adventure. I have a few other
tricks up my sleeve this year so don’t miss out. Register early as the
event is limited and will sell out fast!
Just plan on wearing clothes you don’t mind getting real
dirty because this year the mudpit is going to be unlike any you have ever seen
before, unless you happened to be on one of those websites I was “researching”.
