The latest details from your Race Directors:
We're so excited for the annual MentorKids Kentucky Rugged Race at Diamond Lake Resort! Participants will experience a 5K race with 28 obstacles, including water crossing, barbed wire, rope climbs, mud, and much more! The Elite category is for serious athletes ready to win, and the Ultimate category is for those who want to run as a team or just run for fun!
We also have 5K and 10K Trail Run (no obstacle) options, as well as an XTreme 10K option (a 5K trail run + 5K with obstacles)
All participants will receive a finisher’s medal and t-shirt. Additional medals will be given to the overall male and female winners in the elite and ultimate categories, and a trophy will be given to the top team!
Rugged Kids is for ages 8-13, and Rugged Rascals is for ages 4-7.
