2018 Kids Mud Run registration opens

Sammamish Friends’ is hosting the event on August 18 for kids ages 4 to 10.

Registration is now open for the Sammamish Friends’ 2018 Kids Mud Run on August 18, from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the Sammamish Lower Commons.

The Kids Mud Run boasts more than 30 obstacles and plenty of fun gooey mud. Kids ages 4 to 10 are eligible to run at a ticket price of $25 each. Online registration is now open, and will remain open until 400 children have registered.

Early registration is strongly encouraged to ensure that your child can participate in this exciting day of muddy fun. All runners will receive a race day t-shirt and other fun goodies at the finish line. This event takes place the morning of Sammamish Days.

Packet pick-up will occur on August 14 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Rotary Room at the Sammamish Community YMCA, 831 228th Ave. Southeast in Sammamish. Parents can pick up their registered child’s t-shirt and bracelet, and turn in the signed 2018 Kids Mud Run Participant Liability Waiver Form, which the child must have to be able to run.

Parking for race day will be available at the Sammamish Community YMCA, Skyline High School, or Mary Queen of Peace for easy walking access to the Lower Commons.

Volunteers are needed so if locals can get involved, the city encourages them to read about ways to volunteer and sign-up to join the fun. For more information about the race, email kidsmudrun@sammamishfriends.org, or visit the Sammamish Friends website.
