It’s all a secret.

We know that our event is only as good at the course it’s held on. That’s why our Mud Challenger venue scouts search incredibly hard to find the best tracts of land with awesome terrain and natural features, making our event sites second to none.

What sparks our interest? Rugged and diverse terrain on one tract- with lakes, streams, vertical topography changes, open fields, forest land, and various types of other natural features. We strive to bring our participants to a natural venue. Unlike our competitors, we don’t believe in holding our events at racetracks or empty fields.
