CANCELED???? WHY???

Why was the event cancelled? I was so looking forward to the event, my daughter, daughter in law and sister were going to due this and as i was going to register today i could not find the event in El Paso and now i see its CANCELLED WHY???? So disapointed

Misleading False advertising

This location advertised for Ventura. Acton is 75 miles away. I saw in their FAQ that actual locations could be 60-90 miles away from marketed location. But why would anyone read that FAQ when they would have no reason to. If I see a race advertised for Ventura, then I believe it is in Ventura so I would not look under FAQ to see if they are lying. Sounds like it is a pretty crappy event (maybe even literally) so it will be a financial loss but maybe it is best.

Less Mud. More Sand and Gravel

This was my first 5k. I run occasionally, but not this course was not difficult at all. Because of the sheer number of participants, it's difficult to race or run quickly (many people are walking). The biggest disappointment, however, was the 'mud'. I actually sustained a pretty large road rash/scrape along my thigh because one of the obstacles forced me to slide along the ground. The swelling and the pain is quite tremendous. When I reported the incident to a "volunteer" I wasn't even directed to a First Aid station. All in all, I think the concept is great, but for a $100 I was very disappointed by the experience.

Cancellations

Very disappointed to see that they have already cancelled this race, saying that is was due to "registration trends". This is Seattle, do you know how many people would run this race? It's in may for crying out loud, and it's only October. I find it worrisome that you would cancel already due to something like that. $$$

Good and bad

Somewhat well organized and a nice venue. That is kinda where it stops. I was on the 8am wave and while they stated that the obstacle would indicate difficulty, they did not. I did amazingly well considering I severly sprained my ankle in the first 10 minutes of the run. I continued and was able to complete a significant amount of the run and did all of the "black" obstacles. There was no first aid on the course and no one was present at the wall climb. When I finally had to stop because I wasn't able to walk it took 20 minutes for someone to get flagged down and come to help me. I get there are dangers and risk involved but anyone with common sense would think to station first aid and event staff at regular intervals.

Event is well organized, but not many participants actually run in the 5k which disappointed me. Obstacles were also not too challenging. This may be a better fit for someone just getting into fitness/athletic activities.

Mud run

Im sure it will be a good time, but disappointed that I paid $100 to enter and the next day noticed a groupon deal for $35. When I emailed them, they just said NO REFUND!!! SAD!! I had a few more friends wanting to join my group and after that, they didnt join!

GREAT TIME!

This was my first Dirty girl mud run. Me and my girlfriends had a blast! Very well organized.
The only thing I thought could be changed in the future is to have the whole obstacle course opened up for the viewers to watch throughout, so they could run along side and take pics if they wanted. The location we were at, the start and finish of the run was out in the open for family/friends not participating to see, but that was it. All of the other muddy obstacles were through the woods and out in a field, which was closed off for everyone but the dirty girls. I think it would be so much better if family and friends can watch all those obstacle courses as well. Just a suggestion!
Other than that, it was a blast and we are already talking about signing up next year!

My first Dirty Girl and it was awesome! I now understand why Milwaukee was extended to two days! There are so many girls there and the atmosphere is amazing!

The event coordinators did a great job at sending out e-mails with updates and reminders pre-race day. When we arrived, there were many signs pointing where to go and reminders of what was needed.

Check-in was a breeze, gave our ID's and received our bib numbers. Moved on to the next tent in line to grab out t-shirt and a few goodies. Then onto the next tent to get our bracelets verifying age (for that oh so yummy beer after). Our husbands were with us, so no need to check our gear but the system they had set up for it couldn't have been more clear or smoother. (Set up by bib number - a bag ID tag that matched the bib number was given to use and staff verified the matching numbers when you picked up your bag at the end)

They knew this was a Women's event and had 6 rows of bathrooms set up = never a line or wait!!

They had great announcers at the shoot and a Zumba warm up - it really got the girls excited to get on the course.

THE COURSE: there were 12 obstacles set up and they were all a lot of fun! I didn't see anyone skipping any, and the ones that were a tad more challenging, well, other Dirty Girls helped out! I, along with everyone else, was covered head to toe in mud by the time I was done and my cheeks hurt from laughing!

After the race, we all enjoyed our free beer and then headed back over to the finish line to cheer others on. We went to grab the rest of our goody package, including signature charm necklace and Epsom salt!

When we were ready to get the mud off, we went over to the rinse station to get un-modified. The line was long, but moved quickly. The rinse station was a closed off tent with a line of hoses. It's definitely a 2 person job to get the mud off.

Lastly, we checked out the merchandise tent and said good bye.

We are ready to sign up again for next year!

only really big problem port a potties overflowing, could use a little more mud
