What is a Mud Run?
Participants take on a military-type obstacle course in a mud run event – with plenty of mud at certain obstacles – while typically dressed as if they were attending a Halloween party. Mud run events take between 30 minutes and 2+ hours to complete for most participants and are generally 6K in length. The obstacles can take considerable time to navigate, so don’t equate the length of an event to running alone.

What is a Color Run?
A Color Run is typically a 5k fun run. At each 1k interval, all team members are doused in different colors from head to toe. Runners usually wear white to start the race, but they’ve absorbed many colors on their clothes and skin after completion.
Usually, the run is not timed. Its nickname is “The Happiest 5k on the Planet.” The organization running these events is a for-profit venture to focus on health and happiness.
