Would you do this "race"?

[mrs.jacinthe]

My local fitness and rec department is doing an "obstacle scramble" to raise money for their after school stuff (I think). Essentially, it's a mud run. But ... it's only a mile race.

It's next weekend and registration is $25 - including a t-shirt. I was absolutely going to do it until I found out that it was only a mile, and now I'm reconsidering because I'm worried that I'm going to be practically the only adult there.

I am doing a down-n-dirty in October, so I could go and consider it a little training run for practice running/crawling in mud ... ??

WWYD?

I would. It is raising money for the school so it is a good cause. I don't think it only being a mile means you will be the only adult, I think that they were probably aiming to get more people to participate. To non-runner a 5k or whatever is a 'marathon' and they think it is not possible for them.

More participation=more money.

I'd do it.

Sounds fun!

All right - you ladies have convinced me. Even if I am only one of a few grown-ups, I will not be alone. I'm in.
