Glad you had fun. I'm sure the race did not start at 11:00, as Ron is NEVER on time. The atmosphere at the PCS races is what got me hooked on trail running (did my first PCS race 15 years ago). If I lived closer, I would join the Liederkranz!
The only problem with this race is when you tell people you ran the Ugly Mudder, they assume it's some mud / color / zombie race.

Even though I know otherwise, I still get that impression every time I hear the name.
Thanks for sharing the RR T&C. Every time I see pics or RR's from a PCS event, I feel nostalgic.
Faster Than Your Couch!
Congratulations, great race and well done!
This snow looks really heavy. I was snowshoeing recently in such snow - very exhausting. Running 6 miles in this stuff is a really tough workout!
For the German beer, I like the Weizen dunkel best.
Run for fun.
Sounds like with the conditions you ran a strong race, and had a great time too, congrats!
I know! It's a shame because I bet this race was around before those races (actually I have no idea which came first.)
Let me know if you're doing any PCS races this year. I might do Dark and Dirty on 5/31.
Are we there, yet?

The race website says this was the 11th annual. I don't think mud runs have been around that long.
2024 Races:
03/09 - Livingston Oval Ultra 6-Hour, 22.88 miles
05/11 - D3 50K 05/25 - What the Duck 12-Hour
06/17 - 6 Days in the Dome 12-Hour.
It's Ron's 20th year for the Mt. Penn Mudfest, so long before the mud-run craze started. . DW and I will be there this year. Dark and Dirty is weekend after our 24hr race, so we'll see. It's a great race with an awesome post-race party out on the patio at the Liederkranz.
I don't think running Dark and Dirty is in the cards because I have the Ice Age 50K the week before, but I'd like to meet a few of you if I'm not scheduled to work that evening.
Cool. Nice job and it sounds like a fun time.
Congrats.
tbd.
Thanks, all!
wcrunner2 & ATrunner - would love to meet you both! Keep me posted. My attendance is dependent upon whether I have a bachelorette party that night, since it is the prime of wedding season then and I have a thousand weddings happening this year.
I would love to run Mudfest since I have a few friends that go every year, but I always go visit family in NY for Easter weekend so it's likely not happening for me any time soon.
Thought you might be interested.

Sounds like a fun one! Congrats on getting through some tough conditions and getting the finish...if you want to be able to carry your cell phone check out the lifeproof cases. What's next for you?
**Ask me about streaking**
Sounds like you ran a good race under tough conditions! Thanks for sharing the RR.
