Mud Runs: Just As Fun for Spectators


Ever been to a regular 5K, half- or full-marathon, but not competed?  Yeah, it’s not that fun.  You probably just stood on the side of a city street as racers passed you with looks of defeat on their faces.  At Ruckus, we think the experience should be just as fun for the spectators as it is for our RuckStars.   

Back to those repetitive road races – we’re guessing you went to a spot on the course, saw your friend or family member pass by, then moved to one or two other spots to watch them momentarily pass again.  We know you want to watch your loved ones struggle up some of our daunting obstacles, so we make nearly the entire course visible to spectators.  Beforehand, you can decide if you want to see them crawl through mud pits, climb up and over walls or tackle countless other challenges. 

Plus, once your runner’s heat is over and you’ve had your fill of watching them get extra messy, you will have the chance to experience the great Ruckus atmosphere with all of the competitors (although you won’t be as muddy!).  The spectator area at Ruckus also features a health and fitness expo, a beer garden and food trucks – the recipe to an awesome Saturday whether you’re running or just watching. 

Be sure to reserve your spectator pass online for only $10 and be a part of the fun and exciting atmosphere at Ruckus (children under the age of 10 and registered participants do not have to purchase a spectator pass). Or we guess you could stand on the street during your husband’s regular 5K and hand him water as he drenches you in sweat.  It’s up to you.

Ruckus Cheerleaders Wanted!


It may be almost too late to register for Ruckus St. Louis, but it’s not too late to cheer your favorite RuckStars across the finish line!  We can’t help but brag...Ruckus has the best spectating capabilities of any other mud run out there.  So if you can’t participate in Ruckus, why not cheer from the sidelines?

Ruckus is looking for cheerleaders to help us support and encourage our RuckStars over walls, through mud pits and all the way down Mount Ruckmore.  So if you have a family member, friend, loved one or colleague running in Ruckus St. Louis this weekend, why not come down and cheer them on?

Ruckus cheerleaders, we have another task for you too.  We recently announced our Ruckus St. Louis Facebook Photo Contest —a contest that is looking for our participants’ best authentic photos.  How can you help?  Why not take some pictures of the race for your loved ones and post them to Facebook for them!  Because Ruckus has awesome spectating capabilities, you can participate in Ruckus without getting too much dirt under your fingernails.  So what are you waiting for?  Bring your camera, line up by the course and snap a few pictures of your favorite RuckStars while they cross (or crawl across) the finish line.
