In a couple of days, MudManX will be coming to the Jersey Shore. This exciting event will be held at First Energy Park, Home of the Lakewood Blue Claws in Lakewood, NJ.
The people behind MudManX spared no expense in bringing you one of the toughest and most extreme in adventure, obstacle racing! You will be joining a very unique community. To help you prepare for your adventure, we have prepared a MudManX checklist:
Gear:
Pants/shorts/shirts (preferably clothes that are quick drying, Lycra material, sports wear)
Socks (mesh or fast absorbing, NO cotton, you’ll get blisters)
Sneakers (running or trail, they will get muddy)
Gloves (work out gloves, to help you go over insane obstacles)
Knee pads (and/or elbow pads, to help with crawling)
Swim goggles (for people who wear contacts)
Energy bars
Change of clothes
Arriving at First Energy Park:
We encourage everyone to arrive at least one hour of your assigned wave time to account for packet pick up, and other wait times.
Please bring a photo ID
Signed waiver (can be downloaded from the website, www.MudManX.com/register)
Be sure to drop any valuables at the bag check area
Find your teammates!
It is recommended that you stretch at least 15-20 mins to warm up and prepare your body for what lies ahead.
Use you own discretion. If you feel uncomfortable with any of the insane obstacles, you can skip it. The event will be timed and we are awarding cash prizes to top finishers. Time will be deducted to participants that do not “conquer” an obstacle.
Drink plenty of water before, during, and after the race. Water stations will be situated throughout the course.
The body is a temple. Any sudden pain or discomfort should be attended to accordingly.
A crew of photographers will be roaming the course to get shots of the athletes in the elements. So look your muddiest! The best pics will be posted on the MudManX website as well as on Facebook for all to see!
After you Conquer the Elements:
Get your MudManX headband.
Take a photo with your teammates.
Get your free beer (for 21+)
Rinse off at the wash area or get hosed down by the WRAT Rock Girl!
Check your time as well as the team’s time at the Pace Racing timing table.
Enjoy the Extreme Aftermath Party with friends and family!
Stick around to see who will be awarded cash prizes for the top finishers!

Then declare: I CONQUERED THE ELEMENTS!
