One of WNY's few "real" cross-country races, the "Mud Run" winds through Erie County's Reforestation and Refuge area located on Feddick Road in Boston, New York. It offers a unique experience to encounter some true "European-Style" running over rolling hills, creeks, wooded trails, gullies, dips and natural barriers. Oh, and lots of "Mud".

This year's race will be on the first Monday in August, at 6:30 pm. The girls/women will race first, followed by the men/boys.

The race is located on Feddick road, get there by taking the Rice Road exit off the 219 South. Turn right onto the Rice Road exit. Stay on Rice Road until the bottom of the Hill, turn left onto Feddick and follow it to the race site. You have to park on the side of the road, so be careful getting in/out of your vehicle.

Registration is $16US/$20Canadian. Day of the race registration and late registration(after the last Wednesday before the race) pay $10 and recieve no shirt. Mail all forms to Don Sauer, 6471 Kevinton Pl. Boston, NY14025. Make checks out to Don Sauer. Forms can be downloaded here, or found at various local races/running stores.

Race awards will be given to the first in each age group and then the next 25% of the people in that group that are pre-registered. Awards include glass beer mugs, embroidered towels, and trophies. Age groups are 14&under, 15-16, 17-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-36, 37-43, 44-50, and 51+. The race t-shirt is covered with fake "mud" sploches on the back and the front reads "I Survived the 200* Mud Run." It also has the scene seen at the top of this page.
