SYRACUSE – For the seventh year, the Syracuse Parks Department is anticipating the muddy adventures of the Mudtastic Classic.

Tentatively scheduled for June 19, the event is presented by the K21 Health Foundation.

The event will be run on trails near the Levinson-LaBrosse Lakes & Wetlands Education Center located on SR 13 one mile south of Syracuse. This mud run will feature several fun and challenging obstacles along trails near Lake Wawasee. Both adults and kids (ages 7-14) will have the opportunity to participate in teams or as individuals.

Registration fees are $25 for adults and $15 for youth. Those who register before June 5 receive a Mudtastic T-shirt. Participants can register in person at the Syracuse Community Center or online at www.runreg.com/mudtasticclassic. Money raised from the event will help support the Syracuse Parks Department.

Over 250 participants have competed in this untimed race in recent years, which covers a 2.25-mile layout. Competitors will get muddy!

The Parks Department will update any changes needed for the race as local and state social distancing guidelines are updated approaching the race.
