              MudHog 5 Mile Trail Race & Mudhog Challenge
               Gunstock Ski Area, Gilford, New Hamshire
                             August 9, 2008
               Race Scoring: Yankee Timing 978-430-5669  

The ONLY reason there were only 106 participants in this wild and wacky 5 Miler is that more of you
have never heard of it because it is just plain FUN, FUN, FUN !!! Is that enough exclamation points?

The Race Director has taken your basic hilly and challenging 5 mile trail race and added a few twists.
First, it is a team race for 2, where both participants must finish the race at the same time after
both covering the whole race course. However, each participant runs part of the course and bikes the
rest. Teammates trade off between biking and running at each mile mark. Second, each mile mark also
contains an obstacle or challenge that must be completed by both participants before the team can move
on to the next leg. I can't tell you what the obtsacles or challenges are as they change year to year
at the whim of the above-mentioned RD. Finally, after running/biking 5 miles on hilly trails at Gunstock
Ski Area and completing 4 obstacles/challenges, the particpants must cross the 60 foot long and 12-15
inch deep mud pit. One look at the above picture says it all.

But remember, this is still a race, not just an excuse to wallow around in the mud. This year's race
came down to the final 1/4 mile as the all male team Cotton Headed Ninny Muggins just barely edged out
the all female team Chunky Monkey. And don't just think this race is for crazy young'uns. There were
several teams made up of 50+ and 60+ racers. (Psst! Hey guys! 56% of the participants were ladies!)

The RD doesn't shortchange on the post race festivities either as all runners were treated to a BBQ
and a beer garden --- and prizes included IPODs to boot. Plus the t-shirts are really cool!!!

See you next year! That's an order --- not a request!!!
