The 15th annual Marine 5K Mud Run was held last Saturday at Roanoke County’s Green Hill Park. The event was attended by over 2000 runners who made it through the challenging three mile course with varying degrees of success.
The most challenging part of the race was a 75 foot mud-pit postitioned at the end of the course where runners were forced to scamble, slop and slog their way to the finish under the watchful eye of friends, family and other onlookers who cheered them on.
The Mud Run benefits Toys for Tots, Camp Roanoke and the Boy Scouts.
