What does MUDGIRL consist of?

MUDGIRL is an all inclusive, 5KM race, consisting of 17+ obstacles to overcome.

Whether you are by yourself or in a team, the course is committed to testing the strength, endurance and above all, the good spirit of all participants.

There is no timing and no obligation to complete all the obstacles. You are here for the sole purpose of having fun and having a great experience, regardless of your athletic ability.

Is MUDGIRL open to everyone?

Yes, all women between the ages of 7 to 78 (a record to beat!) are invited to participate in MUDGIRL!
The short running distance makes this challenge achievable to all levels of athletes.
You don't have to run, as long as you are enjoying yourself, it doesn't matter if you run, walk, or take a break. Important: We ask that all young ladies are a minimum of 7 years old by race day to participate in a MUDGIRL experience.

I’m not such a runner, can I still participate?

This race is an introduction to obstacle courses and aims at combining athleticism and fun.
Many of our participants are not very sports oriented, however, they really enjoy themselves at our race!

We promise, you will love your experience at MUDGIRL.

Why should I leave my comfort zone and participate in this race?

Whether it’s a personal challenge or a friend has embarked you on this journey, you are here for a noble cause: the fight against breast cancer.

Therefore you will surpass yourself, sweat, have a few (small) aches, and finally, raise your arms when you cross the finish line... in short, be part of #Pinkarmy!

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!

Do I need to know how to swim?

Nope! Some obstacles may have 2-3’ deep water but the majority are just mud. If you don’t feel comfortable, you can always go around the obstacle.

As of what age can I become a volunteer?

Everyone above 7 years old is welcome to volunteer! • Volunteers between 7 and 14 years old are encouraged to participate. 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 (usually 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?

You simply have to use our registration platform by clicking the following link. You will then receive a confirmation around 2 months before the event with all the important and necessary information. Our volunteer coordinator will be in contact with you until the day of the event.

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 participate 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!

Will volunteers get pictures?

There won't be professional pictures taken of the volunteers, but the staff will try to take pictures of you throughout the day. Don't hesitate to ask the volunteer coordinator to take pictures of you! All these pics will be uploaded on the MUDGIRL Volunteers Facebook group
