Be Unstoppable!

The Lord's Gym Kids Mud Run is a FREE outdoor obstacle course for kids ages 4-17. With four different courses designed for different age groups, participants take on up to 25 exciting obstacles—jumping, climbing, crawling, and running through the mud!

Our goal is simple: to help kids have fun, build confidence, develop perseverance, and overcome fear. As they take on each challenge, they’ll learn to push past obstacles—both on the course and in life—while experiencing the joy of crossing the finish line!

PAST REVIEWS:

"We moved to Oroville last year and this is the best family experience we’ve had so far! What an amazing free community event… Tons of wonderful volunteers, a massive obstacle course, activities, food, merchandise… From start to finish it was a spectacular experience."

"This is an amazing event for the young kids because it exposes them to experiences they would normally not get to experience in the current world. It challenges them to overcome their fear and get out of their comfort zone!" ~ Yelena

"Just want to say that it’s very rare to show up to an event and have my daughter cheered on and included just like all the other children in her heat. Her disability does not define her but rather makes her unique. Your event made her shine and I can’t say that about all the places we have been."

"This was our family's 4th year and we always had a blast! Love the family atmosphere and the fact that this is a free activity. We drive an hour to get there but it is always well worth the effort since we have a fun-filled day with great food as well!"

"We have competed four years in a row. We always look forward to June and the Kids Mud Run. All of the volunteers make it such a special event. We are so proud to live in a community that offers such valuable experiences for the children and the young at heart." ~ Angela

“It’s the coolest, funnest race! Better than any sport!” - 7 year old
