When talking with friends about mud runs, one of the biggest gripes I hear is "they're so expensive!" With that in mind, I wanted to pass along some tips that everyone could use to keep their pockets full of green, and every other orifice they have full of mud.

Raising Hell in the Salomon Fellraiser
When I was asked to test the Salomon Fellraiser, I was a little giddy with excitement; I grew up skiing and have always been enamored with the Salomon brand for outdoor gear of any type. On top of that, the shoes looked impressive with all those gnarly treads and just screamed DOMINATE OCRS to me.
ROC Race: Bounce-filled, Wet, Inflatable, Fun!
When you hear "5k" and "A dozen obstacles" you may be thinking you're in for a 3.1 mile race strewn with obstacles... and you'd be way off the mark. Sure, you can approach the ROC course like it's a Spartan Race and run as fast as you'd like (I did) to get through each of the amazingly fun obstacles as quickly as you can (and do 30 burpees for every one you failed, but I succeeded at 'em all) only to find out... you missed the whole point of this race. Yeah, I was that idiot who PR'd an un-timed race! Well, that may be mostly true, but I enjoyed the heck out of 11 of the 12 obstacles and saw thousands of people around me having a good time.
