It's time to get muddy, and we've got all the info you'll need to get ready for the big day!

- SHOWING UP
Gates open at 9:00 am. You'll want to show up ONE HOUR prior to your wave time to allow enough time for parking, registration, etc.  Event held rain or shine, although weather related postponements are possible and are at the discretion of the event director.

The venue informs us that cell phone coverage is spotty, especially for certain carriers, therefore, we may not have the ability to take a credit card payment for vendor, merchandise or registration changes. CASH is required for parking and bag check services.  We strongly suggest you bring enough cash to cover all aspects of your day at Mud Factor.

- REGISTRATION
PRINT a copy of your order confirmation email (or save it on your phone) for faster check-in. Bring your Photo I.D. along with your signed waiver to the registration tent.  A Parent / Guardian will pick up MF Kidz bib(s).

- PARKING Parking is $20 cash per vehicle. You must park in our designated parking area only. No parking on streets, roads, or adjacent lots allowed. Absolutely no "walk-ins" from outside the designated event parking area will be permitted to participate in any Mud Factor event, no exceptions. Drop off accommodations are available inside the venue without charge.

- BAG CHECK You may drop off any items you don't want getting muddy or lost at our Bag Check tent for $5 cash. Tear off the tab on your running bib and attach it to your bag with a safety pin from the bag check table. Write down the number on you arm with a sharpie, as you may loose your bib during the run. Pay attention to where your bag is placed by the attendant for quicker pickup.

- MERCHANDISE
You may purchase or pick up your pre-ordered merchandise at the merchandise tent located in the festival area. You MUST pick up pre-ordered shirts on event day. We do not ship, refund, or credit pre-paid merchandise.

- COME PREPARED
We recommend bringing extra clothes, shoes, and towels. Bring plastic bags for dirty items. We have plastic car seat covers for sale at $3 cash each.  Bring water to hydrate before and after your run.  Mud Factor provides water at the 1.6 and 3.2 mile mark to help quench your thirst.  Please take only one cup per pass and do not use the drinking water as a rinse station.
