Someone explain the point of running all those miles please!!??

[MKCP 1985]

honestly, there is a bit of a runner's high that comes with those miles.

It can be elusive, but we've all felt it. :king:

I WOULD BE ALL OVER THAT!

That looks so much fun. are some of those people running to the side of the mud puddles for. I come on. You just waded thigh deep through a creek. Go for it! I would try to get as muddy as possible.

What is the distance of that run. What city?

Ward Pound Reservation in Cross River NY (a little above NYC in Westchester County, I shoot over from CT and it's a short drive), it's a 10k...and this year they added a surprise chest deep river crossing to the others...it was GREAT! Demand has gotton high as it caps at 900 or 1,000 I believe so for the first year they're talking about a lottery as it sold out in hours when registration opened...it's usually last Sunday in April, but due to Easter is the first in May...& I'm with you why dance around the mud...however I will say they have an area they describe as 'swampy mud things' and my shoe got sucked off and took a bit to find and put back on so sometimes it's best when it's shin deep to strategize...

Do they still do the Muddy Buddy race at WWoS?

As far as I know yes... I had a buddy compete in one with a friend this past spring/summer
