WELCOME TO THE JUNIOR JUMBO MUD CHALLENGE!

We would like to thank you for being a part of the 2017 Junior Jumbo Mud Challenge,in cooperation with the City of St Thomas, Elgin/St Thomas Health Unit, Active Elgin, YWCA and Faith Church. We hope you are ready for a fun and muddy adventure!

REGISTRATION:

You should have received an email confirmation when you registered. Please bring that email to the Registration area. If you don’t have the email confirmation, don’t fret, you can go to our website registration page and click on the “Locate Your Registration.” This will take you through the process to locate your confirmation email. We will have a master list at the Registration tent to verify all pre-registered participants should you not be able to locate it.

Here are a few things regarding registration:

  • Entrance to the event is on Fairview Ave (across from Doug Tarry Complex)
  • Once registered on the day of the event, you will receive your registration packet. Contained within that packet are two tickets for gate entry (for parents) and your race event bib. This bib numberwill allow the participant entry into the event. All other spectators will be charged a $5 gate entry fee. Ages 3 and under are free.
  • Every participant will receive a color-coordinated bracelet relative to their respective heat time. Registration personnel will put this bracelet on the participant at registration. This is to be used for two items:
  1. For entry into their heat time.
  2. For obtaining their gear at the Swag Bag tent

(Participant must be present and show his/her bracelet to receive their gear)

  1. THIS BRACELET MUST REMAIN ON THE PARTICIPANT AT ALL TIMES!
  • Print and fill out completely the KIDZ RELEASE FORM (located on our website registration page) and bring with you. This will help the flow of the registration process.
