About the Run A Muck Cross Country 5K and 10K
The course runs through a private working organic farm, winding across wooded trails and open fields. The shorter distance is mostly flat but throws in mud and water jumps, hay bales, and logs. The longer course covers all of that, then heads out into hillier, more technical terrain. Dogs on leashes are welcome to race alongside their people.
Post-race, the farm puts out fresh produce and snacks, and runners are welcome to bring something to the potluck lunch that follows. You can also camp on the property the night before, with a bonfire going. Race-morning packet pickup is available, so there is no need to make a separate trip.

The Run A Muck Cross Country 5K and 10K has been held every year since at least 2023. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
