The hubs and I ran the Dirty Dash in September of 2014 and had a blast. Just before the race starts, people can win prizes by volunteering to put on those inflatable bubble balls and run full speed at one another. Watching people bounce off each other and roll around is likely one of the top 10 things I find funniest in the entire world. You will need to tie your shoes on extra tight, and by shoes I mean wear tennis shoes. Running through the mud causes some sort of alien vacuum to occur and many people fell victim to it during the race; shoes were getting sucked off of people’s feet left and right. It was like running through a shoe graveyard. I will say, the smell of the mud was pretty appalling, however, I would definitely do it again. We were covered from head to toe in mud. Though, I tried to laugh and speak intelligently while running the race by quickly closing my mouth, mud and grime still crept its way into my pearly whites and not to mention my my nose, ears, and eyes. There are pits of mud one must crawl or wade through, slides, monkey bars, ropes, you name it, they have it.(Ultimately, if you like being clean and think you can complete the race without ending it looking like a piggy, you are wrong and you should not do this. Period). This year DD is at it again September 19, 2015. Be there — try something new! It’s a great time.
