On Saturday, September 25th, the Salmon River Cross Country held a community Mud Run 5k fundraiser for the team. .
On a beautiful sunny autumn day, the Shamrocks welcomed all to their home cross-country course. The course is 100% grass, 12 feet wide and is mostly flat. The course features two man-made hills with a 20-foot long "water pit" sandwiched in the middle. The pit is about two feet deep with a sand bottom. A second mud-pit was added before the first hill to make things more interesting. The mud pits are unavoidable, event organizers said.
The first male and first female finishers received t-shirts. Everyone who participated received sribbons.
The run was for all ages with an entry fee is $5 for current Salmon River students and SRC cross country or track/field alumni. The fee was $20 for those who registered before the day of the race. Day-of registration was $25.
