Medals will be presented for fastest male/female completions by age, largest team, best costumes, and more! Vendors, food trucks, refreshments, and music will be onsite for all to enjoy. The annual Mudder’s Day Mud Run is Harmony’s premier event supporting family programs and therapeutic services so all may live their best lives.
