Along the way, racers will drag snowmaking hoses through the mud, crawl beneath barbed wire, and test themselves in new and exciting ways.<\/p>\n<p>The designers of this year\u2019s race have spent considerable time crafting new challenges and tweaking favorite obstacles from past races. Along the 5k course, competitors will negotiate obstacles with names like Snowmaking Boot Camp, Sadistic Slalom, Plunge of Paul Bunyan, and Bear Claw Forest. This year\u2019s race will also feature a free Mini Monsters race for kids, with pint-sized obstacles for children under 14.<\/p>\n<p>Following the race, competitors will enjoy a relaxing summer afternoon with live music, lawn games, and barbecue. An awards ceremony will also follow the race, with prizes going to top individuals and teams.<\/p>\n<p>To register for the 4th Annual Monster Mud Run, watch the video teaser, and to get more detailed race information, please visit LoonMtn.com\/MonsterMudRun.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">###<\/span><\/p>\n<p>About Loon Mountain &#8211; Loon Mountain is New England\u2019s most-accessible mountain resort destination, offering plenty of exciting year-round activities, including scenic gondola rides, summit glacial caves, Aerial Forest Adventure Park, ziplines, rock wall climbing, and more.
