With all the rain we have been having, oh my word, you should have seen the amount of mucky stuff in the high traffic areas! It was drizzling rain and kind of windy upon arrival at the Oral Roberts University Campus.

The participants were running through mud, then climbing and sliding on all these awesome inflatables! It probably wouldn’t have felt as difficult if they had been dry. It was pretty common to see runners lose a shoe in the mud.

Others would be climbing up one of the bounce houses only to hit a slick spot and slide back to the bottom. Thankfully everyone was helping anyone close to them otherwise, no one would have made it!
