Registration is now open for the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich 5th Annual Muddy Up 5K Run & Walk planned for Sunday, October 2, 2016 at Camp Simmons, the Club’s 77-acre wilderness property in central Greenwich. This exciting event is for runners and walkers of ALL AGES who enjoy a competitive 3.1-mile adventure on wooded trails with natural and man-made obstacles and plenty of MUD!
The Muddy Up race will not be timed and everyone receives a hand-made medallion completing the course, with will include traipsing through 18 unique obstacles, crossing a rope bridge, plunging into a gigantic mud pit, and being ‘rinsed’ off by the Greenwich Fire Department at the finish line. Alternate pathways will also be provided.

Individuals and teams are invited to sign up, get moving, have fun and most importantly, support our community’s children in need.
Every dollar raised from the Muddy Up 5K supports the Club’s After-School Programs which provides economically challenged families with high quality, safe and affordable after-school care. The Club hopes the community will show support and help reach this year’s goal of $125,000 by joining the run, signing up a team with family members, work colleagues or friends.
