Muddy Dash - Tucson, AZ

Tucson Estates, United States • 4 Apr 2026

Event Overview

Muddy Dash - Tucson brings an obstacle-based run to the desert landscape of Old Tucson, Arizona. This non-competitive event focuses on experience and fun rather than timing or rankings. The course covers a distance of several miles and features approximately 12 different obstacles and mud-related challenges.

Course and Obstacles

The route is designed with "Muddy Moments" where participants are required to run, walk, crawl, wade, slip, or slide to progress. These mud pits are designed to be no deeper than waist-deep, ensuring that participants do not need to swim to complete the sections. Costumes are permitted and encouraged throughout the event.

  • Value Registration: Includes a race bib, finisher medal, and access to the post-race party and mud pits.
  • VIP Registration: Includes all value items plus a tour t-shirt, towel, drawstring bag, sunglasses, tattoo, silicone wristband, and VIP check-in.

A bag check service is available at the venue for a small fee to keep personal belongings clean during the run. Spectators may attend and access the festival area at no cost.
