Event overview
The Fort Gordon Marine Mud Challenge takes place on September 12, 2026, at Fort Gordon, GA (19th St & Barnes Ave). The event uses a 4 mile off-road course with more than 30 obstacles, a stream crossing, hills and mud. Old clothes and shoes or boots are recommended; participants are advised to bring a change of clothes. Pockets may fill and pants without draw strings may come off.
Competition is individual. Every runner will be timed using electronic timing. Competitive categories are reserved for participants who can run the entire course and complete every obstacle. All competitors must complete all obstacles. Entrants must be 13 years of age or older unless a parent or guardian approval waives the requirement.
