Hence, there is no excuse to turn around on race day. :)

We can promise you that when the medal is around your neck, you will feel like the proudest woman in the world. But before that, you will have to face the mud and the big slide!

Please read details on the event page for the city you’re racing at and follow safety instructions we email before the event with updated health and safety requirements for each city.

Below are all the steps to follow:

> Arrive maximum 45 minutes before your wave start time already dressed for the race

> Park your car in the private parking lot provided for the event (contactless payment available, or cash).

> Check in and show your ticket along with your ID card

> Walking in the one-way village, you can leave your personal belongings in the provided bag drop area

> Head to the the start line to warm up, respecting the social distancing

> Throw yourself into the MUDGIRL EXPERIENCE!

How should I dress when going to MUDGIRL?

Before anything else, check the weather… you won’t enjoy running in shorts and a tank top under heavy rain or cooler weather! Dress according to the weather and to your personal liking, but keep in mind that you will be covered in mud. What to bring: - Running shoes that you aren’t afraid to get dirty. - A pair of shorts and a t-shirt you’re ok with having to wash a couple times before being able to wear again - A change of clothes for after the race (very important for the survival of your car seats) - Your biggest motivation and smile!

Do I have to pay for parking? Do I need to bring cash?

Yes, you will need cash or a credit card to:

- Pay for parking*
- Deposit your bag if necessary at the "Bag Drop” tent - Eat at the foodtruck
- Buy souvenirs at the #PinkArmy Store to brag about your amazing accomplishment
(There will be no ATM on site)

You will be able to pay by debit / credit card at the MUDGIRL store, so ladies and gentlemen, you have no excuse not to throw yourself into our pink tutu!

*Parking price subject to change depending on location, see details on the page for the city you’re racing at, and the email with pre-race instructions sent 1 week before your big race

What will happen if weather conditions are very bad?

We reserve the right to cancel or push back the race only in the case where extreme weather would compromise access to the security and safety of participants.

In regard to lighter weather, a little rain has never hurt anyone, in fact you will be able to enjoy more mud!

Is the race timed?

No, we try to eliminate any competitive spirit from MUDGIRL.
On the other hand, no one will prevent you from showing off to all your closed ones that you are the most badass of the group by arriving first!

If I can not overcome an obstacle or am afraid to, can I still participate?

We do our best to offer fun obstacles that are easily accessible to all. :)

However, if you don’t feel comfortable doing a particular obstacle, you can skip it and continue the run. We do however challenge you to come back the following year and overcome the obstacles you skipped!

How long does the race take?

It should take you between 40 to 90 minutes to complete the race. However, don't put pressure on yourself to finish within a particular time frame, just have fun and go at your own pace. :)

Are there showers on site?

Rinsing stations (water hoses with a nozzle) will be at your disposal to quickly get rid of the mud. However, you will have to wait to get home to enjoy a nice warm bath.
A changing room will also be available. We recommend bringing a clean change of clothes, and a large trash bag to place on your car seat as it’s hard to remove 100 percent of the mud at the rinse station (and it’s even harder to remove any mud from your car seats!).

What type of ID do I have to bring?

Any form of photo ID (ex: driver’s license, health care card, student card). As long as we can verify that the name on the ID matches your profile, you will be good. A photo on your phone of your ID will also suffice. For minors without photo ID’s, an ID with no photo will be accepted. We just want to make sure that the actual participant is checking-in.

Where can I find my pictures after the race?

We post links to the pictures on Facebook a couple days after the event.
In the week following your event, the full album will be uploaded on our photographer’s website: Epic Action Imagery.
Please allow at least 3 days after the event for all photos to be uploaded online.

Is there a medical team on site?

A medical team is present at each event to provide first aid to all participants and help with minor injuries.
In the event of serious injuries requiring hospitalization, we will call for an ambulance.

What will I be doing during my volunteer day ?

MUDGIRL offers a variety of positions where volunteers can enjoy and spend a wonderful day. EVERYBODY is welcome to volunteer: no training or diploma is required. This day will bring you as much happiness as you will give to the participants! Positions are assigned on the morning of the run in function of the needs and number of volunteers present. Not to worry, we give special attention to those who come in groups. We do our best to keep them together as much as possible, and will never force a volunteer to be in a position they don’t want to be in.

Why volunteer for MUDGIRL ?

Above everything, you will experience an exceptional and unforgettable day! You will get to live the event from the inside out and be apart of the MUDGIRL team. You will deserve all these benefits after waking up early on a weekend and after smiling all day: - A MUDGIRL shirt - A runner kit that includes a race bag, a headband, a bracelet, a reusable water bottle and a tattoo. - A full meal - The opportunity to run the volunteer run for free at the end of the day and receive a MUDGIRL medal! - A free future MUDGIRL race with photos - 40% reduction at the MUDGIRL shop

For safety reasons, these courageous volunteers are obligated to be accompanied by an adult throughout the entire day. • Volunteers between 14 and 18 years old must have an authorization letter signed by a parent or a legal guardian. However, this adult is not obligated to be present the entire day.

Can I become a volunteer and participate in the run ?

YES! At the end of your volunteering day (around 3:30pm), we reserve a special wave for all our volunteers who wish to run. You’re lucky: no waiting at obstacles, plenty of mud, the MUDGIRL course is entirely yours! This is your well deserved reward for this tenacious day of efforts! You are even allowed to go down the big slide twice ... but shh that stays between us!

How to register as a volunteer ?

I am a man, can I become a MUDGIRL volunteer ?

Gentlemen, don’t think you can free yourself from your wives, girlfriends, or friends all day so easily! OF COURSE you can join them and encourage them while participating as a volunteer. It's also a great way to support an important cause: Fight against Breast Cancer. Also, as a MUDGIRL volunteer, you will have the chance to run in the volunteer run at the end of the day!

I want to participate as a runner, but become a volunteer the rest of the day, is this possible ?

Wow! A real MUDGIRL filled day from start to finish! You’re full of energy!! Yes that is possible, still there are some rules to follow. • You will not be able to obtain your free race on the same day you volunteer. If you want to participant in a wave during the day, you will have to buy your ticket like any other runner. You will still be able to obtain your free race for another one of our events (for a different date). • It is MANDATORY to participate in either the first wave of the day (and volunteer after you run), or during the last wave of the day (to volunteer before your race). • You will also have to arrive on the event site at the same time as all the other volunteers (early morning) to receive your instructions for the day, the MUDGIRL kit and your meal. • You will have to warn us in advance, so that we can organize ourselves accordingly.

How can I use my free future race ?

Your volunteer day automatically gives you a free pass to run the volunteer race at the end of the day (starting time will be given during the day but is usually around 3:30 pm) but that's not all! You will also receive a coupon code to obtain a free ticket for a future MUDGIRL run. The code will be given to you at the end of the day in exchange of your volunteer bib. You can use the code to obtain a future free race for yourself or offer it to the person of your choice. Please know that to obtain this coupon code, you will have to volunteer for the entire day.

What is the volunteering schedule at MUDGIRL ?

All of the MUDGIRL volunteers must arrive at 7:15am (at the latest) to receive the instructions necessary for their day of volunteering. The day usually ends around 3:00pm depending on the race time of the last participants.

Do I have to be present for my entire volunteer shift ?

Yes, in the hopes of providing a safe run for all the participants, we ask all volunteers to stay from the beginning of the day (7:15am) up until the end (around 3:00pm). Please make sure to only commit to a shift that you are able to complete, if you have any special constraints, don’t hesitate to contact us at: volunteers@sport-era.com. We will be more than happy to answer any of your questions!

Can I request to have the same role as the person(s) with whom I am coming to volunteer ?

Role assignments will be given out on the morning of the run. Yet, we pay close attention to volunteers who come in groups to make sure they are placed close to each other. We also never force a volunteer to be in a position in which they do not desire to be in. We want to make sure you have the best day ever! So don’t wait too long, reach out to all your contacts in your phone, all your facebook friends or instagram followers and come spend an unforgettable day!
