Got no fear of filth and a flair for flexing? Then you're ready for Mud Factor 2012 in Manor. On October 27, get ready to race among the elite mix of foes and friends alike who don't mind getting sloppy and are agile enough to scamper through obstacles at a moment's notice. Arrive at the start line in clothes you hope will sluice off the slime and take off at the crack of a gun. You'll face the likes of a floating castle, a sheer wall, booby trap-like trails and most certainly a trough of muck. After a true 5K - that's 3.1 miles - you're greeted at the finisher's circle with an after party fit for the chiseled grime-monger you've proven to be, complete with an area to wipe down and a free beer for the drinking. Game on.
