Event Description
The Vanguard Mud Race fuels our mission and the people who carry it out every day. It also powers the work we do year‑round in our local community, and this event keeps that momentum strong.
This race is our yearly challenge to South Georgia: grab your crew, lace up, and take on the same grit and determination we bring to our mission. Every obstacle you climb, every pit you crawl through, and every splash of mud directly supports our programs, our people, and the impact we make throughout the year.
Run solo or bring a team. Either way, you step into the Vanguard tradition. Showing up, digging deep, and supporting something bigger than yourself.
And if you sign up before April 25, you will lock in a race shirt, medal, drawstring bag, and a special surprise waiting for you on event day!

FAQ's
Yes. You must register and pay online so we know who is actually showing up to sprint, slide, and fling themselves through the course instead of just cheering from the sidelines.
Top finishers cash out. First, second, and third place snag a monetary prize, a medal, and the full gift-bag glory.
All competitors will start at 0700. All times starting at 0730 are for the non-competitors.
Registration for the 0700 race runs from 0600 to 0645. After that, each race time will close registration 15 minutes before its start.
Bring the bonuses: a change of clothes, a waterproof phone pouch, baby wipes, and a towel...because mud happens.
