Have you ever been curious about those wacky mud runs and obstacle challenges? Experience a 5K with 20-25 obstacles, all without getting muddy! We'll gather a group of spectators to cheer on the folks from UM who are running in this event.

About 35 members of Uptown have been training all year for obstacle course runs, with UM member Mark leading us through early morning runs and climbing/swinging/carrying/balancing practice every weekend. We ran a Tough Mudder in May and September.

In September, our own Coach Hassiem ran the course of the Hoboken City Challenge in a blazing-fast 30 minutes (and 1 second), arriving at 3rd place in the Elite division, with the fastest time of anyone younger than 30!

Next up, come watch your friends and neighbors run 5K while vaulting over taxicabs. Seriously. Join us to watch Hassiem, Mark, and others compete in the upcoming City Challenge on Randall's Island.

Sign up so we know to wait for you before heading over!
